Ingredients

  • 1 package of silken tofu ~14 ounces
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate
  • 2 tbsp cacao powder
  • 3 tbsp plant milk
  • 3-4 tbsp maple syrup*
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • extra chocolate to garnish

Instructions

  • Melt your chocolate and in a
    or blender, add all your ingredients.
  • Pulse or blend until completely smooth (this shouldn't take long).
  • Taste your mousse to make sure it's to your liking, and adjust sweetness if you need.
  • Transfer to small bowls, and for best results, allow mixture to chill in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. You can skip the refrigeration, but it does allow for the texture to firm and thicken up just a little bit more.
  • Top with additional chopped chocolate, or whipped cream and enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Make sure the tofu you're using is silken tofu. Other varieties may work but are more difficult to blend to a complete smooth texture.
  • If using the Ripple Half & Half, consider starting with 2-3 tbsp of maple syrup first, as the Half & Half is a little sweet itself.

Recipe Variations

  • Using this recipe as a base, you can modify to create a combination of interesting flavours. Some ingredients that I'd recommend experimenting with are:
    • Citrus zest
    • Fresh Berries
    • Hazelnuts for a Nutella-like flavour
    • Caramel
    • Chocolate chips 
The possibilities are endless. In this recipe, I just added a little bit of cinnamon to keep things simple, but I encourage you to make this recipe your own. The best part is, once you've made a batch of this mousse, you can also use it on top of desserts, or layered in between pancakes. It's versatile!

Storage Tips

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days in the fridge.
