Th Best Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup silken/soft tofu (1 300 gram package)
- 1 1/4 cup roughly chopped dark chocolate (about 150 grams)
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- good pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Begin by melting the chocolate. Place the chopped chocolate into a medium sized bowl and place the bowl on top of a small pot filled with 2 inches of water (double boiler method). Turn the stove to medium low. Stir the chocolate periodically while it melts. Alternatively, the chocolate can be melted in the microwave at 30 seconds intervals, stirring at each one.
- While the chocolate is melting place the tofu into a food processor and process until smooth. Next add the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt and melted chocolate to the processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
- Scoop the mousse into small jars. If it is eaten right away it will have the consistency of a pudding. If placed in the fridge overnight it will become firm with a consistency of a mousse. Top with your favourite fresh fruit or shaved dark chocolate. It will last in the fridge for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
