Preparation

Step 1

Easy Vegan Silk Chocolate Mousse
16 ounces silken tofu
1 cup vegan chocolate chips + 1 tsp veg oil
additional sweetener to taste (optional)
pinch of salt (optional)
*I added in about 1/3 cup maple syrup to increase sweetness - additional sweetness is optional though

Directions:

1. In a double broiler, add chocolate chips and oil. Heat until melted. Remove from heat.

2. Add your tofu, optional sweetener, and melted chocolate to a blender. Blend until smooth and silky.

3. Pour into serving dishes and chill in the fridge for a few hours - until firmed up a bit.

Mousse Tips: You can use arrowroot and or agar agar to make your mousse even more firm - but I personally like the silky texture. You can also add more chocolate chips for a deeper chocolate flavor and richer texture as well.
