Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup silken tofu
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips for the mousse
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate (for ganache)
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler.
  2. In a blender, combine silken tofu, melted chocolate, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour half of the mousse mixture into a cake pan.
  4. In another bowl, melt the remaining chocolate and mix in coconut cream to create the ganache. Spread it over the mousse layer in the cake pan.
  5. Pour the remaining mousse on top and smooth it out.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set before serving.

Notes

For the creamiest mousse, blend the tofu until super smooth. Don’t skip melting the chocolate as it adds richness. You can swap coconut cream with cashew cream for the ganache if desired.
