Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 300 grams silken tofu
- 30 grams vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings
- for garnish (optional) fresh berries
Instructions
Begin by breaking the dark chocolate into small pieces. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
While the chocolate is melting, drain any excess water from the silken tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a smoother texture.
In a food processor, combine the silken tofu, vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Once the chocolate is melted and slightly cooled but still liquid, carefully add it to the tofu mixture in the food processor.
Blend everything together until fully incorporated. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.
Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more maple syrup.
Divide the mousse evenly among four serving glasses or bowls.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Before serving, garnish each mousse with dark chocolate shavings and fresh berries for a touch of elegance and flavor.
Enjoy your creamy and delicious High Protein Mousse au Chocolat!
