Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups dairy free chocolate chips I use Guittard
  • 12 ounces Mori Nu silken tofu
  • 1/4 cup vegan cream or almond, coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or maple syrup, to taste*
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on the stovetop.
  • Let the chocolate cool for 5 minutes, then add to a high powered blender along with the silken tofu, cream or milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Pour the mousse into glass jars and refrigerate until ready to serve. Ideally, let it chill for an hour so it can firm up.
  • Top with vegan whipped cream and fresh fruit, if desired.

Notes

  1. For a less sweet mousse, use no sugar, or add to taste. You can also simply add a few tablespoons of pure maple syrup instead of sugar.
  2. I don't recommend using regular firm tofu varieties. Silken tofu has a silky smooth texture that doesn't taste like tofu at all in this dessert.
