Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz silken tofu drained
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips see notes*
  • 2-3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, melted chocolate, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  3. Divide the mousse into 4 small bowls or jars. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (2 hours will yield a firmer texture).
  4. Serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh raspberries, cacao nibs or shavings, or nut butter. Enjoy!

Notes

*For a lower sugar content, choose a no-sugar-added dark chocolate chip such as Lily's chocolate chips.
I don't recommend using firm or extra firm tofu; silken tofu is the best choice for this recipe.
Store the mousse in airtight containers or small jars in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The texture thickens slightly as it chills, making it even creamier the next day.
