Chocolate mousse without gelatine

[grumbletumble]

I was wondering if anyone has a recipe for Chocolate mousse without the use of gelatine (i'm veggie)

I thought it might be nice for pudding on christmas day

Thank you x

does it need to be s/w friendly, i made one but used marshmallows, double cream and chocolate was rich and yummy could use sugar free marshmallows and maybe fat free greek yoghurt

Sounds yummy but marshmallows have gelatine in them Thank you anyway x

Not sure if any of them could be classed as low calorie but if its a one off treat I can't see a problem

hmm i have vege gel but never used it before, it says it doesn't set like gelatine (i think it's a bit thinner than gelatin) Might have to have a play around with the vegegel & the chocy mousse on the recipe thread here.
Your recipe sounds delish but maybe i'll save it for when i get to goal!

Oooo catcrazy! The one with eggs might be great if i swapped the cream for fromage frais! I'll have to work out the syns before i attempt it thankies

Also just looked to see if physllium husk can be used as it goes VERY gelatinous when left and came across this........ Simply YUM!: Chocolate Macadamia Mousse Cake

I think you'd have to go for the finest ground husk you can fine or you could powder standard stuff if you have a grinder feature on a food processor

Never even heard of that! would you get that in a supermarket? & would it be syn free?

I have a chocolate mousse recipe, here http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/173489-honeys-recipes.html#post2909126

The initial recipe is including gelatine, but have edit it to say you dont actually need to use it. We like it much much better with out.

I order mine online, from ebay...user name spiceworks. Lol, youre gonna love this bit...its use for me and many others on here is to keep you "regular" its a bulking agent not a "loosening" one so dont worry there. There are very very few calories in the stuff so I cant see it being any syns (never done SW so don't quote me on that) ...nutritional info here ------> How many calories are in Psyllium seed, husks

its used in baking for coeliacs as it holds the moisture well for cakes and breads. The husk i get probably wouldnt be suitable for a mousse unless you could mill or grind it down further.

I have mine in OJ and if I get distracted and dont drink it straight away one level tablespoon sets a glass of OJ pretty solidly in a few minutes...I have worn orange jelly on my face before now! The way it sets made me think it could be used as a gelatin substitute.

:giggle: Wobbly orange juice, sounds delightful!
Thanks for that info, i'll defo give it a go, i think i'd prefer to use a natural setting agent than vegegel which i think has additives. If i do have it i'll have to make sure i have my 'roughage' though
