Chocolate Mousse
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 1 12 oz quantity of firm or extra firm Silken tofu*
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or your favorite non-dairy milk
- 1¼ cup non-dairy semi-sweet chocolate chips** my favorite is Guittard
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- raspberries and cacao nibs optional garnish
Instructions
- Remove the tofu from the package, drain excess water and then process it in a food processor until smooth.
- In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over high heat until just boiling. Turn heat to low and add the chocolate chips. Stir until chips are fully melted. Add maple syrup and stir to combine. Turn off heat and add the vanilla.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the tofu. Process until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Divide the mousse into four serving bowls. Garnish with raspberries and or chocolate nibs if desired.
Notes
*Either the refrigerated or aseptically packaged version is fine. Mori-Nu brand makes a type that is not in the refrigerator section with other tofu products, but in the Asian section with soy sauces and curries.
** For a more intense dark chocolaty flavor, replace 1/4 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a 80-90% cocoa dark chocolate broken into bits.
