Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse (Rich, Creamy & Vegan!)

This Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse is rich, silky smooth, and deeply chocolatey, and you’d never guess it’s made with tofu. It’s a quick vegan dessert you can whip up in minutes in a blender, and has an added boost of protein! Chill it for a thicker mousse texture or eat it right away like chocolate pudding.

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate gently in the microwave (in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between) or over a double boiler. Let it cool slightly so it’s warm but not hot.

  • Blend until silky: Add the silken tofu, melted chocolate, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and espresso powder (if using) to a blender, food processor, or the cup of an immersion blender. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and add 1 more tablespoon of maple syrup if you want it sweeter.

  • Chill (optional): Spoon into ramekins or small serving dishes. Chill for at least 1 hour for a thicker mousse texture. Or enjoy right away for a softer, pudding-like texture.
