This silken tofu chocolate mousse is quick and easy to whip up, requiring just a few simple ingredients you can find at any grocery store and under 10 minutes of prep time.
It contains no eggs or dairy. It’s also gluten-free!
This creamy chocolate mousse is also a bit higher in protein and lower in fat than traditional chocolate mousse.
What you will need:
16 oz silken tofu room temperature or slightly warm
4 oz chocolate chips
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch sea salt
2 tbsp cocoa powder
Note: To ensure the mousse is smooth, tofu should be at room temperature when blended with chocolate. If it's cold, it may result in a grainy mousse. (Can place the silken tofu in a microwave-safe bowl and pop it in the microwave for a minute or so until it's room temp or even slightly warm)
-Add the tofu to your food processor. Blend the maple syrup and cocoa powder in with the tofu. Then add the vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth.
-Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted.
-Add the melted chocolate into the blended tofu mixture and blend until incorporated and smooth.
-Transfer the mousse into a sealable container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
-Serve with fresh fruit, a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of peanut butter, or even flaky sea salt!
-The mousse will last up to 5 days sealed in the fridge (if you don’t eat it all first)
