Ingredients 

Instructions

  • Drain the excess liquid from the pack of silken tofu.
    12 oz pack (340 g) silken tofu
  • In a food processor or blender, blend the tofu until smooth.
  • Roughly chop or break the chocolate into pieces and then melt it in a double boiler, heatproof bowl over a simmering pan of water or in the microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth.
    3.5 oz bar (100 g) vegan chocolate
  • Add the melted chocolate to the blender and blend again.
  • Scrape down the sides using a spatula, add the maple syrup, optional nut butter and vanilla extract and blend again until you have a creamy and smooth chocolate mixture.
    2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon nut butter, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Divide the chocolate mousse between 4 small serving dishes or jars (about ½ cup or 120ml per portion) and chill for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Silken tofu should be at room temperature for the best results. If your tofu is the refrigerated kind, bring it out of the fridge 30 minutes before using.
Nut butter is an optional extra that adds richness and a bonus taste element to the mousse. If you are a fan of peanut butter, then it's a delicious addition. Almond butter or hazelnut butter also goes fantastically well with the chocolate.
For topping inspiration, see the post above!
Store covered in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
