1tbsppure maple syrupoptional, for additional sweetness
Instructions
Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a double boiler pot (or to use the microwave, see Recipe Notes). Add water to the double boiler and put over medium heat. Stir the chips until melted.
Reserve ½ cup of the melted chocolate and use the remaining chocolate to paint a thin layer of chocolate into the molds. Be sure to evenly cover the entire mold.
Put the molds into the freezer until firm. About 30 minutes.
While the chocolate molds are setting, combine the silken tofu, ½ cup of melted chocolate, espresso extract and maple syrup, if desired, into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
When the chocolate molds have set, carefully pour the mousse filling into each mold. Gently even the mousse at the top of each cup.
Refrigerate until the mousse is firm. About 4 hours.
Gently peel the silicon mold away from the domes. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you don’t have a double boiler, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a glass measuring cup. Microwave for 30 second increments, stirring the chips in between until melted.
