Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 300 grams silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 scoops whey protein powder (chocolate flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 3 large egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
- 30 grams chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
Begin by melting the dark chocolate either using a double boiler or by microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, vanilla extract, and honey. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour in the melted chocolate into the blender or food processor and blend again until well incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until foamy.
Add the cream of tartar and sea salt to the egg whites and continue to beat until they form stiff peaks, being careful not to overbeat.
Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula. Be careful to maintain the fluffiness of the egg whites by gently incorporating the chocolate.
Divide the mousse into four serving cups or bowls, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped dark chocolate.
