Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine silken tofu, dates and vanilla extract in a blender and blend it smooth. This may take 2-3 minutes and you might see bubbles in it. This is exactly what we want but do not stress over it. Keep it aside.
  • In a microwavable bowl, combine chocolate chips and microwave at high for 30 seconds. Take it out and stir with a spoon. Microwave it again for 30 seconds. Take it out and stir again with a spoon. Microwave again for another 40 seconds. Take it out and stir vigorously with a spoon. It should be liquid and melted by now. Stir in cocoa powder to the warm melted chocolate. (Do not let the melted chocolate cool down).

  • Pour the chocolate in the blender and blend it smooth for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Spoon it out in the serving glasses/bowls and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. When ready enjoy it as is or top it with vegan whipped cream and berries and grated chocolate.

Notes

  • I used vegan chocolate chips in this recipe but you may use 70% dark chocolate as well in this recipe. Roughly chop and measure it into ¾ cup and then melt it in microwave.
  • Any unsweetened dark cocoa powder works here.
  • You may use 12.3 oz. or 16 oz. silken tofu for this recipe. The serving size will change slightly though. Firm, soft or extra firm silken tofu works in this recipe.
  • Make sure to let it rest for at least 1 hour to get the bubbles and airy chocolate mousse. You may go up to 2 hours.
  • Blend all the ingredients very well especially tofu and dates. The smoother they are the better consistency for the mousse.
  • Refrigerate the leftovers in a glass container for about 2 weeks.
