Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 12 oz pkgs silken tofu preferably firm silken tofu
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup as an optional sweetener; see Recipe Notes
Instructions
- Combine the vegan chocolate chips and the coconut oil in a glass measuring cup. Microwave for 30-second sessions, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted.
- Combine the melted chocolate, silken tofu, vanilla extract & salt in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
- Do a quick taste test to make sure that the sweetness is to your liking. If you want the chocolate mousse to be sweeter, add a small amount of maple syrup.
- Pour the mousse mixture into individual serving cups (I like to use decorative mason jars) and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- Serve topped with extra chocolate chips, fresh raspberries or coconut whipped cream. See Recipe Notes.
Notes
- Depending on the dark chocolate, you may or may not need to add any additional sweetener. I use semi-sweet dark chocolate chips and they are plenty sweet on their own.
- Be sure to pick a pure maple syrup if you’re concerned about gluten. Some brands combine maple syrup with other ingredients.
- Coconut whipped cream is a great topping for this Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse Recipe. Please note though, that coconut whipped cream is sold frozen and must be defrosted before serving. Be sure to plan accordingly!
