What I love about this Chocolate Tofu Mousse

• It uses silken tofu as the wonder ingredient that makes vegan chocolate mousse smooth and creamy.
• Variations of the mousse make it easy to customize based on your flavor preference.
• Made quickly and easy to prep in advance for guests or parties.

The Secret to Silky Chocolate Mousse

Silken tofu is the secret ingredient that takes this vegan chocolate mousse recipe to new creamy heights. It lends a rich texture and with the combination of a good, semi-sweet chocolate this tofu mousse achieves that perfect balance of sweetness and rich chocolate flavor.

For the ideal mousse consistency, it’s best to choose silken tofu. This super soft, creamy tofu variant is made from denser soy milk with less water added during production, resulting in the perfect texture for a mousse, especially when paired with a vegan oat or coconut whipped cream.

Health Benefits of Tofu

Apart from their delectable taste, tofu includes a lot of health benefits.

• It's a great source of vegan protein.
• A great source of iron and calcium and b vitamins.
• It's a great meat alternative.

While firm tofu can also be a nutritious option, silken tofu is especially beneficial due to its unique texture and versatility in recipes.

📖 Step-by-Step Guide to Making Chocolate Tofu Mousse

Melt the Chocolate. Melting the chocolate is an easy method to incorporate with this chocolate mousse. Here’s how to make the chocolate:

1. Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave.
2. Heat it until it reaches a melted consistency. For the microwave, heat it for 30 seconds at a time until completely smooth.

Blend. Start by blending silken tofu with melted dark chocolate. Use a high-speed blender or food processor and blend the ingredients until they’re smooth, ensuring there are no lumps left for that perfect texture. Persist in blending until the mixture is exceptionally smooth. This consistency is vital for a silky mousse texture. Add the vanilla extract for a flavor boost.

Chill. Pour the mousse into small, single-serve ramekins. Refrigerating your mousse for at least 2 hours is important to obtaining the perfect texture and taste. The mousse will taste good right after blending, but it won’t have that rich, mousse-like consistency until it’s been chilled.

🍽 Storing Your Vegan Chocolate Mousse

• Store it in a sealed container.
• Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• If you made a big batch or have leftovers, you can freeze the mousse in small portions for about six weeks. Chill it in the fridge for 1-2 hours before freezing.
