Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) package soft silken tofu, room temperature
- 1 (10-ounce) bag dairy-free semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons brown rice syrup (can sub sugar or maple syrup), or to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, puree the tofu until smooth. Scrape the tofu into a mixing bowl.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips for 1 minute, and stir. Continue heating in 30 second intervals until the chocolate is just melted and smooth, whisking vigorously after each interval. Do not overheat.
- Add the brown rice syrup to the melted chocolate, and mix until combined. The chocolate should “seize” and pull away from the sides of the bowl, almost forming a ball.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the tofu. Blend with a mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix in the vanilla.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set.
- Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving dishes.
