Chocolate Tofu Mousse
Surprise your honey this year by making a batch of this simple and delicious chocolate tofu mousse for Valentine's Day (or honestly any day would be fine!). The hardest part about this 4 ingredient recipe is waiting for it to chill!
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 321kcal
Equipment
- 1 blender
Ingredients
- 1 package (10.9 oz) silken tofu
- 4 oz dark chocolate (about 1 cup chopped or chips)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Add a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and add your tofu to the strainer to let it drain for a couple of minutes while you melt the chocolate. (No need to press it!)
- Add the dark chocolate to a double boiler and melt. (Add 1 inch of water to a saucepan and fit a mixing bowl over top. Bring the water to a simmer and add the chocolate to the bowl. The heat from the water will help melt the chocolate.) You can also melt in the microwave if you prefer.
- Add all of your ingredients (melted chocolate, tofu, maple syrup, and salt) to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to an airtight container to chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes
- If using soft block tofu from the refrigerator, make sure to allow it to come to room temperature before making the mousse. You may also need to add 1-2 tablespoons of soy milk to help it blend.
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. This mousse does not freeze well as the texture of tofu changes with freezing.
- See post text for flavoring suggestions such as peppermint, orange, and peanut butter.
- Some of my favorite toppings include: fresh berries, chocolate cookies, and vegan whipped cream.
