I Turned TOFU Into the Richest Chocolate Mousse Ever… And Nobody Believes It’s Vegan

silken tofu

🥗Healthier: avocado

💰Cheaper: regular tofu

Avocado adds creaminess with healthy fats.

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: cacao powder

💰Cheaper: chocolate chips

Cacao powder is lower in sugar and calories.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Honey is often less expensive and adds sweetness.

vanilla extract

🥗Healthier: vanilla bean

💰Cheaper: vanilla essence

Vanilla essence is a more affordable flavoring.

Melt dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.

Drain silken tofu and add it to a blender.

Add melted chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt to the blender.

Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Taste and adjust sweetness if desired, adding more maple syrup if necessary.

Add a splash of coffee for depth of flavor and blend again.

Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or cups.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.

Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or fresh berries.
