Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Silken tofu
- 150 grams Dark chocolate
- 60 milliliters Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 100 grams Whipped coconut cream or whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain the silken tofu and gently pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess water. Set aside.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or a microwave, stirring frequently until smooth. If using the microwave, heat in 15-second intervals to avoid burning.
In a blender or food processor, add the silken tofu, melted dark chocolate, espresso or strong brewed coffee, cocoa powder, maple syrup or agave nectar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more maple syrup or agave nectar. Blend again briefly to combine.
Divide the mousse evenly into four serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops with a spoon or small spatula.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours, or until it is set and chilled.
Before serving, optionally top with a dollop of whipped coconut cream or whipped topping and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy your decadent Mocha Mousse with Tofu!
