Description
This Vegan Chocolate Mousse is amazing! It’s rich, creamy, silky, and absolutely delicious. Gluten free, dairy free, and completely vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 box (12 ounces) of Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Extra Firm
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 2 Tablepsoons of cacao or unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until everything is completely smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides as necessary.
- Using a rubber spatula, pour and scrape the mixture into a glass jar or container and let chill for 2 hours or overnight. This will allow it to thicken.
- Spoon into a small bowl or serving dishes and top with your favorite berries, chopped almonds, chocolate shavings, or a little vegan whipped cream.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Use “SILKEN TOFU” not regular tofu. You will not get a creamy consistency with regular tofu. CLICK HERE and read this great post on the different types of tofu and how it can be used.
If you don’t have cocoa powder you can sub melted chocolate. Use 3/4 cup of non-dairy dark chocolate chips and melt in the microwave in 20-second increments. Add the melted chocolate to the blender or food processor with all the other ingredients and simply follow the original directions.
Cover and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
