Vegan Chocolate Mousse
by: claire cary
This vegan chocolate mousse is rich, creamy and incredibly easy to make. It's high in protein thanks to the tofu, refined sugar free and perfect for a healthier dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce package silken tofu
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval.
- Add all ingredients to a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust flavors as desired. You may want more sweetener or more cocoa depending on your preference.
- Transfer to a container and let set in the fridge for at least 1 hour, ideally 2 for the best texture.
- Serve with coconut whipped cream and chocolate shavings or fresh berries. Enjoy!
Notes
I like using semi-sweet chocolate chips, but any kind will work here. You can use a stevia sweetened chocolate, just keep in mind using something different than what I used may change the final flavor of the recipe. Be sure to taste and adjust as needed!
