Ethiopian Injera-Spiced Chocolate Mousse with Millet Crunch

A sophisticated vegan dessert inspired by Ethiopian flavors, silky aquafaba chocolate mousse infused with warm spices (fenugreek, cardamom, cinnamon), topped with toasted millet and sesame seed brittle for textural contrast. A unique fusion that honors global cuisine while delivering indulgent chocolate satisfaction.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup aquafaba, chickpea liquid from 1 can, chilled
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, for stability
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, high-quality dark cocoa
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup, pure, not pancake syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pure vanilla
  • 0.06 teaspoon fenugreek seeds, lightly toasted, ground (just a pinch)
  • 4 whole cardamom pods, seeds only, ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ceylon cinnamon preferred
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, fine grain
  • 1/2 cup puffed millet, or millet flour toasted until golden
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, raw, unhulled
  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar, for brittle
  • 1 tablespoon water, for brittle

Instructions

  1. 1

    If using millet flour instead of puffed millet, toast 3 tablespoons millet flour in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and golden. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Toast sesame seeds in the same skillet for 2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside separately.
