Ingredients
- 7 ½ ounces 150 grams dark chocolate (chips or chopped)
- 1 package 12 ounces/345 grams silken tofu at room temperature, drained
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar or maple syrup/agave
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Toppings (optional):
- chocolate shavings
- Whipped coconut cream
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate either in the microwave (I melt it at 30 second intervals, stirring in between) or in a heat-safe bowl over a pan of simmering water, but ensure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Set aside and allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
- Add the drained silken tofu, sugar and vailla to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add the melted chocolate and blend again until thick and smooth.
- Divide the mixture between serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Serve as it is, or top with chocolate shavings, whipped coconut cream or fruit.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
- When choosing your sugar, make sure it is 100% vegan and contains no animal products.
- You’ll also want to make sure the chocolate you use is vegan and does not contain any dairy or milk products.
- It's important to make sure the tofu is at room temperature before blending to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- When melting chocolate in the microwave, be sure to only cook in 30-second intervals while stirring in between as the chocolate can burn easily.
- This recipe will not work with firm tofu, so make sure you are choosing soft silken tofu when purchasing.
- To enhance the flavor and taste, use high-quality chocolate to make this vegan chocolate dessert.
- Storing: You can store any leftover vegan chocolate mousse in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Silken tofu changes texture when thawed, therefore freezing is not recommended.
