Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 block silken tofu
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 block of silken tofu, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Open the package of silken tofu and drain any excess liquid. Gently press the tofu with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove additional moisture. This will help achieve a creamier texture in your mousse.
- In a blender or food processor, add the drained silken tofu. Make sure to break it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Add the cocoa powder to the blender, ensuring it is evenly distributed over the tofu.
- Pour in the maple syrup, which will provide sweetness and enhance the flavor of the mousse.
- Add the teaspoon of vanilla extract for a hint of aromatic flavor and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- Blend all the ingredients together on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is well combined.
- Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a little more maple syrup, blending again to combine.
- Once the mousse is smooth and creamy, transfer it into serving dishes or bowls. You can use ramekins, small glasses, or any dessert container of your choice.
- Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly and enhance the flavors.
- Before serving, you can garnish the mousse with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious, sugar-free tofu mousse as a light and healthy dessert!
Tips
- Use silken tofu for the smoothest, most velvety texture possible. Regular tofu won't give you the same creamy consistency.
- Make sure to drain the tofu thoroughly to prevent a watery mousse. Gently pressing with a paper towel helps remove excess moisture.
- Blend on high speed and scrape down the sides to ensure a completely smooth mixture with no tofu lumps.
- Chill the mousse for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to set and develop deeper flavors.
- For extra indulgence, try adding different garnishes like fresh berries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a few chopped nuts on top.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, start with less maple syrup and add more to taste.
- This mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert!
