Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 package shelf-stable silken tofu (approx. 12 ounces)
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (melted)
  • 1 splash vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure that the silken tofu is at room temperature and not cold, as this will help in achieving a smooth mousse texture when blended.
  2. Blend Mixture: In a blender, combine the silken tofu, melted vegan chocolate chips, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Chill the Mousse: Pour the blended mousse into ramekins or serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve: Remove the mousse from the refrigerator, optionally decorate with fresh fruit, nuts, or vegan whipped cream, and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.

Notes

  • Use room temperature silken tofu for the best blending results.
  • Ensure the chocolate chips are fully melted before blending to avoid any lumps.
  • This mousse can be garnished with berries, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added flavor and presentation.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For added sweetness, you can blend in a natural sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar before chilling.
