I created this recipe because I wanted to try silken tofu with chocolate. I knew it was the perfect combination for a mousse. The recipe in my video is not vegan since I used white and milk chocolate, which I prefer. For a vegan version use only vegan chocolate, this works perfectly too!
You can be creative here, using the chocolate you prefer. If you use more than one, you can create a cute swirl on top. To keep the recipe vegan, I omitted this step in the description. To make the swirl add a little bit of chocolate (about 3-4 lines) on top and create a pattern with a stick.
I incorporated whipped aquafaba because I like the airy texture. You could skip this ingredient if you don’t have it. Don’t be afraid that aquabafa will taste like chickpeas in the mousse. It won’t! Without aquafaba the texture will be a bit more firm. I like it this way too.
The silken tofu here is the substitute for cream. So if you’re on a diet, this recipe is for you!
Add something crunchy on top like cacao nibs or chocolate flakes, maybe a cute cookie and enjoy!
