6 Servings
Ingredients
- 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 16 oz block soft or silken tofu drained
- ¼ tsp kosher salt optional
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, or fresh berries
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate
- Place the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate gently over a double boiler to avoid scorching.
Blend the Mousse
- In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the melted chocolate, drained silken tofu, and kosher salt. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes completely smooth and velvety. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure an even texture.
- Taste the mousse and, if desired, incorporate one to two tablespoons of sweetener such as sugar, maple syrup, or honey to adjust the sweetness to your preference. Blend briefly to combine.
Chill and Serve
- Transfer the mousse into individual ramekins or serving cups. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or until well-chilled and set. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, or fresh berries, according to preference.
