Ingredients
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
- 300 grams Silken tofu
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
- 50 grams Berries for garnish (optional)
- 5 leaves Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by roughly chopping the dark chocolate into small, evenly-sized pieces to facilitate quick melting.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the dark chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t burn. Once melted, remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, vanilla extract, honey, cocoa powder, and sea salt.
Step 4
Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure an even consistency.
Step 5
With the blender on low, slowly pour in the slightly cooled melted chocolate, continuing to blend until the mixture is well combined and silky.
Step 6
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if needed, then blend again briefly.
Step 7
Divide the mousse evenly among four small serving dishes or glasses.
Step 8
Cover each serving with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set and allow flavors to meld.
Step 9
Before serving, if desired, garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy this heart-healthy dessert with friends and family!
