Silky Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Like a chocolate hug in a bowl—this silken tofu mousse is creamy, rich, and just sweet enough. Whip it up in minutes, curl up with a spoon, and savor every bite. Whipped to cloud-like perfection with melted dark chocolate and a splash of maple syrup, it’s decadent enough for date night but easy enough for Tuesday night.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces silken soft tofu

Instructions

Notes
Lime Pudding Variation: Omit the cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Increase the maple syrup to 1/2 cup, then add the zest of 1 lime (about 1 tablespoon) and 1/2 cup fresh lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
