Ingredients

  • 100 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
  • 300 g silken tofu
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • optional toppings (fresh berries, chopped pistachios and/or dark chocolate)

Method

  1. Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt gently over a pan of simmering water using a heatproof bowl (ensure the bowl doesn’t touch the water).
  2. Add silken tofu, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to a food processor or blender.
  3. Pour in the melted chocolate and blend until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides and blend again if needed for a silky finish.
  4. Spoon the mousse into 3 glasses, jars, or bowls. Serve immediately for a soft texture, or refrigerate for 1–2 hours to set and thicken.
  5. Top with berries, chopped nuts, or extra chocolate before serving, if desired.
