It’s the perfect option for when you’re craving something creamy and decadent but still want to keep things on the healthier side.

- 2 cups Silken tofu
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
Easy Steps
01Begin by melting the semi-sweet chocolate. You can do this in one of two ways:
Microwave method: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Double boiler method: Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Place a heatproof bowl (such as a glass or metal bowl) over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Add the chocolate to the bowl, stirring occasionally, until completely melted and smooth.
While the chocolate is cooling slightly, place the silken tofu in the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until the tofu is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure an even blend.
03With the food processor or blender running, add the melted chocolate to the tofu mixture. Continue to blend until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
04Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cocoa powder to the tofu-chocolate mixture. Blend again until everything is well incorporated, and the mousse has a silky, smooth texture. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more powdered sugar.
05Once everything is combined, transfer the mousse into serving bowls or glasses. Smooth the top with a spatula if desired.
06Cover the bowls with plastic wrap or a lid and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For best results, let it chill for 1-2 hours, as this allows the flavours to meld and the texture to firm up.
