Dark Chocolate Mousse
PREP: 5 min | COOK: 1 hr | SERVINGS: 4
INGREDIENTS
7 ½ ounces dark chocolate (chips or chopped)
1 (12-14 ounce) package 12 silken tofu at room temperature, drained
2 tablespoons sweetener: caster sugar or maple syrup/agave
1 teaspoon vanilla
Toppings: chocolate shavings, whipped coconut cream, fruit (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Before you start, take the tofu out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour (drain but no need to press).
Melt the chocolate either in the microwave (in 30 second intervals, stirring) or in a heat-safe bowl over a pan of simmering water, but ensure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Set aside and allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
Add the drained silken tofu, sweetner, and vanilla to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Add the melted chocolate and blend again until thick and smooth.
Divide the mixture between serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
Serve as it is, or top with chocolate shavings, whipped coconut cream, or fruit.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
