This chocolate mousse is absolutely divine—both indulgent and surprisingly wholesome. The silken tofu creates the silkiest, creamiest texture while keeping the dessert light and nutritious. Paired with the richness of 70% (or higher) dark chocolate, it’s perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness from the maple syrup.
What I love most about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can easily customise the flavours to suit your preferences. I personally love adding a touch of peppermint or orange—it’s such a classic pairing with chocolate. For something more creative, I sometimes add a little spirulina for a nutrient boost. It’s an excellent bright green powder that’s packed with nutrients, but you have to be careful not to add too much as its flavour can overpower the chocolate. That’s why I like combining it with peppermint—it masks the spirulina taste beautifully.
Even my 7-year-old daughter loves this mousse, and she can’t even tell there’s tofu in it! It’s smooth, creamy, and so easy to whip up when you need a sweet treat after a meal. Give it a try, and don’t be afraid to experiment with your own favourite flavours!
