1. Begin by breaking the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt them using a double boiler or microwave. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
2. Once the chocolate is melted, set it aside to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
3. Drain any excess water from the silken tofu and add it to a blender.
4. Add the melted chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, and a pinch of salt to the blender with the tofu.
5. Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
6. Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup.
7. Pour the chocolate mousse mixture into serving dishes or ramekins.
8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it sets and becomes firm.
9. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, shaved vegan chocolate, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream before serving.
