My Special Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse Recipe

If you’re one of those who have never tried making any vegan dessert yourself, then this silken tofu chocolate mousse is what you should try first. And I promise you after making it, you’ll fall deeper in love with vegan desserts. I was pleasantly surprised when I made silken tofu chocolate mousse the first time and I’m sure you will also be. It’s rich, smooth, and incredibly chocolatey, and still light that you can’t have enough of it.

I know silken tofu might sound like an unusual ingredient for dessert, but you know we’re vegans here, so we experiment with as many vegan ingredients to arrive at the most enjoyable vegan creation. When blended, silken tofu becomes so velvety that it feels just like a traditional chocolate mousse made with cream. Once the chocolate is mixed in, it transforms into something that tastes completely awesome.

If you’re making dessert for guests, this is a great recipe to have up your sleeve. It looks fancy, but it takes hardly any effort. You can make it ahead of time, store it in the fridge, and it’ll be ready when you need it. And when you tell people it’s made with tofu, they probably won’t believe you until they taste it.

I know you didn’t come to be told how awesome it is but to get the recipe, so let’s go straight to the recipe and get you started.
