Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse
Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse is the easiest vegan dessert you'll ever make! It's rich and indulgent, with a velvety smooth texture. So good!
Ingredients
- 1 package silken tofu 12 ounces, 340g
- 1 cup dark or semisweet vegan chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) 6 ounces, 170g
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup 45mL
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt 0.5g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional – 5mL
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Let it cool for 2–3 minutes before blending.
- Add the silken tofu, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla extract (if using) to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Pour the slightly cooled melted chocolate into the blender. Blend again until the mixture becomes silky and uniform. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Spoon the mousse into small ramekins or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to set and thicken.
- Serve chilled, topped with vegan whipped cream, fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of sea salt flakes.
Notes
Store vegan chocolate mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Because the texture of tofu changes when frozen, I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
