Equipment

  • 1 blender
  • 1 Small Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 300 gr 10 oz Silken Tofu
  • 120 gr 4.2 oz min 75% dark chocolate
  • 2 Tbsp raw cacao powder
  • 2 Tbsp soy milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or coffee
  • 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla extract optional
  • 2 Tbsp date syrup optional

Garnish/Toppings:

  • 12 Raspberries
  • 2 tbsp Walnuts roasted hazelnuts or roasted Almonds
  • 1 tsp Chocolate shavings
  • 1 tbsp Hemps hearts

Instructions
 

  • Melt the Chocolate
    Break the chocolate bar into small pieces and place them in a small bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Watch it closely—chocolate burns easily! Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
  • Prepare the Tofu Blend 
    In a blender, combine the silken tofu, raw cacao powder, soy milk, cinnamon or coffee, vanilla extract, and date syrup (if using).
  • Add the Melted Chocolate
    Pour the lukewarm melted chocolate (it doesn’t need to be completely cold) into the blender with the other ingredients.
  • Blend Until Smooth
    Blend the mixture until completely smooth. Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the sides a few times, ensuring everything is fully incorporated and the texture is homogeneous.
  • Divide and Chill
    Divide the mousse evenly into 4 ramekins. Gently shake and tap the ramekins to smooth the tops and distribute the mousse evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Add Toppings and Serve
    Just before serving, top with your favorite nuts (I love roasted hazelnuts and walnuts), fresh raspberries or strawberries, and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings and hemp seeds for extra protein. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose High-Quality Dark Chocolate - Opt for a dairy-free dark chocolate with at least 75% cacao solids and as few ingredients as possible. I use a premium 80% dark chocolate—the simpler the ingredient list, the richer the flavour!
  • Use Room-Temperature Silken Tofu - For that ultra-smooth, creamy texture, soft silken tofu is key. Let it sit at room temperature for about an hour if it’s been refrigerated. Cold tofu can cause the chocolate to cool too quickly, resulting in a grainy texture instead of a velvety mousse.
  • Boost Flavour with Coffee or Cinnamon - A pinch of ground coffee intensifies the chocolate’s depth—it’s my secret weapon! If coffee isn’t your thing, try decaf or cinnamon instead. For vanilla lovers, splurge on high-quality extract—cheap versions can taste artificial and overpower the chocolate.
