Healthy Dairy-Free Chocolate Mousse

This recipe for dairy-free chocolate mousse was a “sweet” entry in our March Recipe Madness Contest, created and submitted by Jessica Stier. To qualify, the recipe contains 8 ingredients or less, but includes Almond Plus Protein Almond Milk by So Delicious Dairy Free.

This decadent dairy-free chocolate mousse is leaner and higher in protein than traditional thanks to the use of silken tofu (use organic whole soy tofu if possible!). It’s also relatively low in sugar as Jessica uses a combination of dark chocolate and sugar-free stevia. If you prefer to use another sweetener, you can swap about 2 tablespoons of your favorite sweetener (sugar, agave nectar, etc) for the stevia.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 14-ounce package firm organic tofu, drained of liquid
• ¾ cup So Delicious Dairy Free Unsweetened Almond Plus Almond Milk
• ½ teaspoon liquid stevia extract (I used SweetLeaf; see post above for sweetener options)
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 4.5 ounces dairy-free dark chocolate, melted (I used Theo)
• Grated dairy-free dark chocolate, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the drained block of tofu on a few paper towels, press lightly to drain out excess liquid.
2. Put the tofu, almond milk, stevia and salt in your blender or food processor, and puree until smooth.
3. While the blender or food processor is running, pour in the melted chocolate. Puree until the mixture is even and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender or bowl as needed.
4. Scoop the pudding-like mixture into serving bowls, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface and refrigerate overnight.
5. Serve the next day with some grated chocolate on top, if desired.
