Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Tofu Dessert: Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Update: We now make this with extra-firm tofu (plus maybe 1/2 cup of water) and it is even better! Highly recommend tossing it all in a blender if using the extra-firm tofu. This remains a group favorite!  Recipe recently updated 06/2024!

Ingredients

• 1 package of silken tofu (454 grams) or Extra-Firm Tofu

• 100 grams of dark chocolate (70% or darker)

• 2-3 tablespoons of sweetener (I use date powder, but sugar or maple syrup work too)

• Optional: 2 tablespoons of cacao powder

• Toppings: I like frozen berries and cacao nibs

Key tips: leave the tofu out on the counter for about an hour so it's at room temperature.

Directions

1. Empty the entire package of tofu into a high speed blender.

2. Melt chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 15-20 seconds. It typically takes around 60-90 seconds total to melt. Don't walk away! Your chocolate will burn!

3. Pour the melted chocolate into the blender with the tofu.

4. Add sweeter and +/- cacao with maybe 1/2 cup of water.

5. Blend until smooth and serve.

6. Add toppings: frozen berries work best.
