Vegan Chocolate Mousse
This vegan chocolate mousse can be made in less than 15 minutes flat, with only 4 ingredients that you're likely to already have on-hand. And it's so unbelievably creamy and sweet!
Prep Time
15 minutes
Total Time
15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup agave
- 1 package silken firm or extra firm tofu
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter or PB2 (optional)
- Fresh berries, for topping (optional)
- Homemade Whipped Cream (optional)
Instructions
- Open container, drain excess water, and place on paper towels for at least 15 minutes to remove excess liquid. If using the boxed shelf-stable tofu that is packed in very little water, this step can be skipped. I’ve used a couple of different sizes–one 12 oz (340 grams) and the other 15 oz (425 grams)–with success. The small size difference didn’t cause any issues with flavor or taste.
- Personally, over time, I have found that the firmer tofu is better for this recipe because it gives it a more firm mousse-like texture.
- Add all ingredients to blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides, if necessary.
- Chill mixture in serving bowls for one hour.
- Then top with fresh berries and homemade Whipped Cream (optional).
- Check out the video of me demoing how to make this recipe.
Notes
Tips and suggestions
- Choosing the type of tofu can be important. If I want a pudding-like texture, I choose the shelf-stable firm tofu.
- For a thicker mousse-like or pie filling texture, the refrigerated Chinese type tofu works best.
- Mousse made from either type of tofu will thicken up more after a few hours in the refrigerator.
- Peanut butter is optional but highly recommended.
