Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse (Rich, Creamy & Vegan!)

This Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse is rich, silky smooth, and deeply chocolatey, and you’d never guess it’s made with tofu. It’s a quick vegan dessert you can whip up in minutes in a blender, and has an added boost of protein! Chill it for a thicker mousse texture or eat it right away like chocolate pudding.

Ingredients
  • 5 oz(s) vegan dark chocolate chopped
  • 12 oz(s) silken tofu drained

  • 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt

US Customary - Metric
Instructions
  • Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate gently in the microwave (in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between) or over a double boiler. Let it cool slightly so it’s warm but not hot.
  • Blend until silky: Add the silken tofu, melted chocolate, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and espresso powder (if using) to a blender, food processor, or the cup of an immersion blender. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and add 1 more tablespoon of maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
  • Chill (optional): Spoon into ramekins or small serving dishes. Chill for at least 1 hour for a thicker mousse texture. Or enjoy right away for a softer, pudding-like texture.
  • Serve: Serve chilled, plain or with your favorite toppings (see notes for ideas).
Notes
Storage: Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Topping ideas:
  • fresh raspberries or strawberries
  • coconut whipped cream
  • chopped nuts
  • shaved chocolate
  • crushed cookies
  • orange zest
  • fresh mint leaves
  • a pinch of flaky salt (so good)
