Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Report
Vegan chocolate mousse is made with protein-rich tofu, but you'd never know it just by tasting it! It's a delicious dairy-free dessert you can whip up in minutes.

Instructions
- To melt the chocolate chips, fill a small saucepan with 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Pour the chocolate chips into a heat-safe bowl that will cover the top of the saucepan, and place them on top of the pot. The steam from the water will gently melt the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted smoothly. (Alternatively, you can do this in a microwave, stirring in 30 second intervals.)
- In a large bowl, add the tofu (no need to drain it), vanilla extract, and instant coffee granules, if using. Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl, and then use an electric mixer to whip the ingredients together, until very smooth. It will look lumpy at first, so be sure to mix well. You can also blend this in a blender or food processor, if you prefer, stopping to scrape the sides as needed.
- Transfer the mousse into 6 small serving bowls, then place them in the fridge to chill. The smaller servings will chill faster than trying to place the whole bowl in the fridge. They should be set in 1 to 2 hours.
- Serve chilled, with coconut whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top, if desired. It's also delicious with fresh berries!
Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 of 6 servings; roughly a 1/3 to 1/2 cup of mousse. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee. It's a very rich dessert, so you might also want to make even smaller portions, to make it stretch even further.
- *Be sure to check the label on the chocolate chips that you purchase, to make sure they are dairy-free and vegan. Enjoy Life, Guittard, and Whole Foods 365 brands make good dairy-free options.
- *I used Whole Food's 365 instant decaf coffee granules when testing this recipe. They use the Swiss Water process to decaffeinate the beans.
