Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams silken tofu
- 150 grams dark chocolate (vegan)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters coconut cream
- 120 milliliters aquafaba
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Begin by draining any excess water from the silken tofu. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible. This helps achieve a thicker mousse consistency.
Melt the vegan dark chocolate gently over a double boiler or in a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a blender, combine the silken tofu, melted chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Refrigerate the coconut cream overnight, then scoop out the solid part (the cream) from the can, leaving the watery part behind. Transfer the coconut cream into a large mixing bowl.
Using an electric mixer, whip the coconut cream until light and fluffy. Set aside.
In another clean bowl, add the aquafaba and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Using an electric mixer, whip the aquafaba until stiff peaks form. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped coconut cream into the chocolate-tofu mixture until well incorporated, maintaining as much volume as possible.
Finally, gently fold in the whipped aquafaba into the mousse mixture, being careful not to deflate it.
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set before serving.
Garnish with fresh berries or grated vegan chocolate before serving, if desired.
