You'll never believe what's NOT in this vegan tofu chocolate mousse recipe - there are no eggs and no dairy - but tonnes of rich chocolatey goodness.
Chocolate Tofu Mousse Recipe
Serves 6.
This has got to be one of the easiest - but most rewarding - treats ever made.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of silken tofu (~12 oz)
- 10 oz chocolate chips, about one small package. Many dark chocolate chips are vegan; check the ingredients though if this is a concern.
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract; optional.
Directions:
- Blend tofu (preferably at room temperature) in food processor, blender, or with hand mixer until just smooth.
- In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips with a tablespoon or two of water over low heat. Stir constantly.
- Add maple syrup to melted chocolate and combine.
- Put chocolate & syrup blend into processor and mix with tofu until creamy.
- Pour into very small serving dishes - this stuff is rich. Serve warm or chill until set.
Serving options:
- Fold in a half-cup of non-dairy whipped topping at the end
- Garnish with cut fruits
- Pour mixture into a vegan graham cracker crust and chill until set
- Use as a dip for fruit and graham crackers
- Use as icing for cake or cookies
