You'll never believe what's NOT in this vegan tofu chocolate mousse recipe. There are no eggs and no dairy - just rich chocolatey goodness.
This has got to be one of the easiest - but most rewarding - treats ever made. It's dairy-free, egg-free, and free of animal products. But it tastes rich and satisfying like a chocolate mousse should.
Vegan Chocolate Tofu Mousse Recipe
Serves 6
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 package soft silken tofu (~12 oz)
- 10 oz. chocolate chips, about one small package. Many dark chocolate chips are vegan; check the ingredients for dairy products if milk ingredients are a concern.
- 3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract, optional
Directions:
- Let tofu come to room temperature.
- Using a food processor, blender, or hand mixer, blend tofu 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 until smooth.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir.
- Put chocolate blend into food processor, blender, or a large bowl, and mix with tofu until creamy.
- Pour into very small serving dishes - this pudding-like mousse 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 fruit, or use the mousse as a dip for apple and banana slices
- Pour mixture into a vegan graham cracker crust and chill until set
- Use as a chocolate fondue dip for graham crackers
- Use as icing for cake or cookies
