Chocolate mousse that won’t make you the size of one

Everyone knows how much I like my treats….and how much I have to invent new ones so I don’t end up the size of a house :p

I decided to share the simplest and tastiest chocolate mousse recipe I have every laid my hands on. I swear you will NOT regret making this treat and the best part is it is rich and creamy and you don’t need to eat a lot to feel like you’ve satisfied your craving for chocolate! It’s made with 3 ingredients and even has protein in it!!

Ingredients:

1 package Mori Nu Silken Tofu (Lite)
1 1/2 bars 85% Dark Chocolate (any brand)
2-3 Tbsp maple syrup

Prep:

Using a double boiler melt your dark chocolate until it is liquid.

In a separate bowl (actually a food processor or blender creates the creamiest texture but I did this in a bowl and it worked as well) blend the tofu and maple syrup.

While blending combine the chocolate and the tofu mixtures

I like to portion it out in small ziploc containers for teeny snack portions.

And whatever you do don’t let any go to waste, be sure to lick the spoon ;)

Enjoy!

p.s. add some raspberries for a real heavenly experience.

p.p.s. I hate tofu so I swear just try this. The maple syrup covers the soy flavour perfectly.

Always living with passion,

Sammie

    I have made one similar for years from a recipe that I received from Mori-Nu and it is delicious! I make it into a pie dish and decorate it with banana slices. I made it for my father who is vegetarian, but hates tofu and he LOVES it!!!

    I tried this last night. I had to use about a cup of maple syrup to get a smooth consistency though. I couldn’t have gotten away with 3tbsp. I didn’t have any large bars of chocolate so I guessed and used four 35g bars of Lindt dark chocolate that I had at home. Did I do something wrong I wonder?

    Hey Norma,

    Typically the liquid consistency of the chocolate smooths it out in the blender. Did you use a blender or food processor? If you used beaters you just can’t get the smoothness that the blender or food processor achieves. It still tastes great just doesn’t come out as smooth as I noted in the post.
