Serves 6-8

Ingredients

  • 455g soft silken tofu, preferably the Mori-Nu brand, available in health food stores or larger supermarkets
  • 285g dairy-free chocolate chips or dairy-free dark chocolate, such as Green & Blacks or Divine, broken into squares
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup, or more to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch sea salt

Method: How to make chocolate mousse

1. Line a sieve with kitchen paper and place tofu inside. Cover tofu with more paper and place a weight on top (such as a can of beans on its side).

2. Allow the tofu to stand for about 15 minutes or until roughly 80ml of liquid has drained out. Discard the liquid and transfer the tofu to a food processor. Blend until just smooth.

3. Soften the chocolate with the maple syrup in a double boiler or bowl over pan of hot water, set over a low heat. Stir gently with a rubber or plastic spatula until it’s melted and combined.

4. Pour the chocolate mixture into the food processor with the tofu and add the vanilla extract and salt. Blend until creamy, scraping down the sides once or twice to ensure everything is well mixed.

5. Spoon the mousse into four espresso cups or wine glasses and leave to set for an hour or so in the fridge before serving.
