- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch salt
Optional
- vegan whipped cream or yogurt for layering or topping

If using refrigerated silken tofu, let it come to room temp for at least 45 minutes- 1 hour before using. No need to press this tofu, simply drain it from the package and set aside.
16 oz silken tofu
Melt your dark chocolate in 30 second intervals in the microwave until smooth. Let it cool on the counter for a few minutes. *Don't add hot melted chocolate to your tofu mousse*. 5 oz high quality vegan dark chocolate
In a food processor or blender, add the silken tofu, maple syrup, melted dark chocolate, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.Blend until it forms a creamy mousse that is well-combined.FYI* You may have to stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times to get it to come together. 2-3 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla, pinch salt
Spoon your tofu mousse into ramekins or your dessert dishes. If using glass dishes, you can layer your mousse with vegan yogurt or whipped cream for a beautiful layered look. Place in the fridge for 45 min-1 hour or until thickened and chilled to your liking. Serve your chocolate tofu mousse with vegan whipped cream, chocolate shavings, fresh berries, a mint leaf or whatever your like!Enjoy right after you remove from the fridge.
⭐️Why does the silken tofu have to be room temperature?
Chilled silken tofu combined with warmer chocolate will lead to separation and a mousse that is grainy with chunks of cholate. Let your silken tofu sit on the counter for 45 minutes-1 hour or until close to room temp before blending.
⭐️ I like to use a high quality 70%+ dark chocolate bar for this recipe, but you could also use dark chocolate chips. I personally think Hu Chocolate makes the best tasting dark chocolate bars!
