Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

2 cups dark chocolate chips vegan
14 ounces soft silken tofu
1/3 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch kosher salt

Instructions

Melt chocolate in a double boiler under low heat. This can take up to five minutes.
Combine the melted chocolate with the tofu, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a blender.
Blend all ingredients together. If it seems too thick, add almond milk, one tablespoon at a time. The texture should resemble pudding. Make sure all components have blended well by scraping down the sides of the blender. Firm tofu might need more milk to get a good blend. You are looking for evenness in the mix with nothing creeping up the side of the blender.
Pour mousse into a tall shooters (1/4 cup serving), small ramekins (1/2 cup serving) or a standard container and refrigerate. Mousse should set in two hours, but if it looks set to you in less time, go for it!

Notes

For deeper flavor, we recommend orange oil/extract instead of vanilla. Most home cooks have vanilla on-hand, so we kept it in the recipe. Also, over the course of a few days, the liquids might separate, which is not an indication the mousse has gone bad. Just whisk it back together before serving and it will still be amazing. The mousse will keep for a week under refrigeration.
