Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 200 grams Dark chocolate Use dairy-free chocolate for a vegan version.
  • 300 grams Silken tofu Substitute with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
  • 3 tablespoons Maple syrup Honey or agave can be used as substitutes.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder Any cocoa powder will work.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1 pinch Salt Sea salt or Himalayan salt are great options.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Let it cool for a few minutes.
  2. In a food processor, combine the silken tofu, cooled melted chocolate, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste the mousse and add a little more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter, blending again to combine.
Chilling
  1. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up.
Serving
  1. Once chilled, serve as is or add your favorite toppings!

Notes

Choose quality chocolate for richer flavor. You can add coffee or orange zest in the blending stage for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month.
