Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Silken tofu
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% or higher)
- 3 tablespoons Smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
- Whipped non-dairy cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Press the silken tofu gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, but do not squeeze too hard as it should retain its creamy consistency.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second bursts, stirring in between, or using a double boiler method on the stovetop. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, melted chocolate, smooth peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Blend on high speed until completely smooth and silky. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor or blender to ensure even blending.
Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more maple syrup. Blend again briefly if adjustments are made.
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to firm up before serving.
Before serving, optionally garnish with dark chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, or a dollop of whipped non-dairy cream for added texture and presentation.
