Chill a can of chickpeas in the fridge for a few hours.

Drain the aquafaba from the chickpeas, measuring 200 milliliters.

Add 2 teaspoons of lime juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the aquafaba.

Use a KitchenAid or stand mixer to whip the aquafaba until stiff peaks form, increasing the speed every few minutes.

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between.

Once the aquafaba has reached stiff peaks, gently fold in the melted chocolate a little at a time.

Plate the mousse into individual servings using coffee cups or small glasses.

Refrigerate the mousse for 2 to 3 hours to set.

Optionally, add toppings like toasted almonds, Biscoff cookies, sugar cones, or chocolate chips before serving.
