Gather your ingredients.
To make this easy vegan mousse, you'll need just a few simple ingredients. You'll need vegan milk chocolate, silken tofu, instant coffee, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. You can also add in some sweetener of your choice, like maple syrup or agave, if you prefer a sweeter dessert. Make sure your tofu is at room temperature before you start, as this will help it blend more easily. Once you have everything you need, you're ready to get started!
Blend the tofu and sweetener.
Melt the chocolate and add to the mixture.
Once your tofu and sweetener mixture is smooth, it’s time to add the chocolate. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once the chocolate is melted, add it to the tofu mixture and blend until fully combined. This will give your mousse its rich chocolate flavour. If you want to add any additional flavours, such as vanilla extract or coffee, now is the time to do so. Blend until everything is fully combined and smooth.
Add in any additional flavours or toppings.
Once your vegan mousse is fully blended and smooth, it’s time to get creative with flavours and toppings. You can add in a splash of mint extract for a choc-mint flavour, or a shot of espresso for a mocha twist. For toppings, try fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Get creative and make it your own!
Chill and serve.
After you’ve added your desired flavours and toppings, it’s time to chill your vegan mousse. Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to allow it to set. Once it’s chilled, serve it up in individual cups or bowls and enjoy your guilt-free dessert!
