Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup silken tofu
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate chips using a microwave or a double boiler until smooth.
- Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the silken tofu, melted dark chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
- Transfer: Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or bowls.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes to set and develop the flavors before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a rich chocolate flavor.
- Silken tofu provides a creamy texture and is a great source of plant-based protein.
- Ensure the chocolate is not too hot when blending to prevent curdling the tofu.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted based on sweetness preference or substituted with agave nectar.
- Chilling the mousse improves texture and flavor, but it can be served immediately if needed.
