    Chocolate Mousse Parfaits with Full Pie Option and Healthier Ingredients

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on August 28, 2022 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Many years ago, Mori-Nu shared a “luscious” recipe with us for “easy chocolate dessert.” That basic name didn’t quite capture what the well-known tofu maker had created. It’s a rich but nutritious chocolate mousse layered with fresh fruit and optionally garnished with toppings. So we’ve renamed it dairy-free chocolate mousse parfaits – and yes, it can be made as a single pie.

    In addition to updating the recipe, I have a few suggestions, tips, and substitution ideas to share with you.

    • Chocolate Chips: Beyond the fruit, this is the only sweetened ingredient in this recipe. So be sure to choose a chocolate brand that you like, which has some sweetness. See our Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips Guide for suggestions. And yes, you could use dairy-free white chocolate chips for a sweeter, vanilla-style treat!
    • Pie Crust: You can use a regular graham crust or a Oreo chocolate crust. Most brands are actually dairy-free, and there are even gluten-free options. For fun, you could make mini pies with mini graham cracker crusts.
    • Toppings: I linked up to our Foolproof Coconut Whipped Cream because I like it best for parfaits. But you can stick with the tofu theme and make Soy Whip, which is equally delicious. You might also choose to top the dessert with Dairy-Free Butterscotch Sauce!

    This luscious dessert is healthier than most, but still quite decadent. Please note that the Prep time is hands-on time only. Allow time for the dessert to set. The mousse can be made a day ahead, but if using banana, slice the fruit and layer just before serving.
    Author: MoriNu
    Recipe type: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 8 servings
    Ingredients
    • 12 ounces semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 2 (12-ounce) packages silken extra-firm tofu
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 large banana, sliced, or 1 cup fresh berries
    • 1 graham cracker pie crust (optional, for pie)
    • Dairy-Free whipped topping (optional)
    • Sliced almonds (optional)
    Instructions
    1. Melt the chocolate chips and water together in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir vigorously. If not fully melted, heat 15 seconds and stir vigorously again. Do not overheat the chocolate or it will seize!
    2. Place the tofu in your blender or food processor and puree. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla, and blend at high speed for 2 minutes.
    3. Layer the chocolate mixture and fruit in pudding cups or in a graham cracker pie crust.
    4. Refrigerate the dessert for 1 to 2 hours, or until set.
    5. Garnish with dairy-free whip, almond slices, and/or additional fresh fruit, if desired.
