Begin by draining and pressing the silken tofu to remove any excess liquid. Place it in a blender or food processor.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Add the melted chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender with the silken tofu.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps of tofu and everything is well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
Spoon the chocolate mousse into serving glasses or bowls, smoothing the tops with a spoon.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set and thicken.
Garnish with fresh fruit, grated chocolate, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving. Enjoy your delicious vegan classic chocolate mousse!
