Ingredients for Vegan Chocolate Mousse

This recipe is based off my everyday protein ‘tofu’ yogurt bowl. If you follow me on instagram or youtube, you know I have this bowl everyday made with tofu, frozen bananas, cashews and chocolate protein powder. It literally tastes like a mouse-y yogurt and it’s fantastic.

So, the base of this recipe is made with silken tofu. Tofu is such an amazing ingredient to work with in plant based desserts- you can make chocolate cake, truffles, brownies, chocolate tarts and so much more!

I recommend using silken tofu for a light and airy chocolate mousse. You can use soft tofu but the texture is slightly more thick, kind of like the inside of a chocolate truffle– which I actually kind of.. almost preferred. Maybe I should have called this recipe chocolate truffle in a cup 😂.

To sweeten, we’re using dates. Yes. it’s fruit sweetened so fruit so heck yes you can eat this for breakfast.

And of course, the star player: dark chocolate. I used 100% dark chocolate but you can also use 70-80% dark chocolate.

How to Make Vegan Chocolate Mousse (with Tofu?!)

This recipe for vegan chocolate mousse is probably the EASIEST chocolate recipe you can make.

Melt chocolate.
Blend ingredients.

And then just pour them into small serving cups and chill!

You can also top it off with a bit of non-dairy whip cream, berries, fancy salt and chocolate shavings to make it extra fancy.

This is the kind of dessert that you can fancy up and impress anyone for a special occasion (I hear Valentine’s day is right around the corner). Or it can be made for a casual snack or dessert.

Or even breakfast. I mean, it has tofu for protein, dates for fruits and chocolate for antioxidants- it’s a complete breakfast option in my book 😉.

Just a fun thought: you could also pour this into a pre-made pie crust for a no bake chocolate pie. Or crumble some cookies at the bottom and make it a parfait. I’m betting if you add a bit of non-dairy milk it would be a fantastic chocolate shake too.

I hope this chocolate mousse gives you the same amount of happiness it does to me with every single mouthful ❤️.
