Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 300 grams silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 scoops whey protein powder (chocolate flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 3 large egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
- 30 grams chopped dark chocolate
Directions
Step 1
Begin by melting the dark chocolate either using a double boiler or by microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, vanilla extract, and honey. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Pour in the melted chocolate into the blender or food processor and blend again until well incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 4
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until foamy.
Step 5
Add the cream of tartar and sea salt to the egg whites and continue to beat until they form stiff peaks, being careful not to overbeat.
Step 6
Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula. Be careful to maintain the fluffiness of the egg whites by gently incorporating the chocolate.
Step 7
Divide the mousse into four serving cups or bowls, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
Step 8
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped dark chocolate.
