Vegan Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate is a Love of Gift to Yourself

Christmas Dessert, New Years Dessert or just a Saturday evening dessert in my taste. This is my simple vegan chocolate mousse that is absolutely amazing y’all. My hubby got the chance of testing this yesterday and he pretty much licked up every single drop of the mousse. This is a recipe very worth saving and making, and you only need a few ingredients to make this. Let me talk about this, because this vegan chocolate mousse is something you need in your life.

Don’t freak out…

So let’s talk about the ingredients first ok. We have cacao, agave syrup (maple syrup works too), coconut cream, a tiny bit of salt and… silken tofu! Are you new with silken tofu or are thinking “no no no let’s just skip this”?. Please don’t do that because what I’m about to tell you is amazing.

So for those of you who don’t know, silken tofu is not the same as ordinary tofu. Tofu in general doesn't have much taste at all and this silken tofu has a texture that is soft, creamy and absolutely “silken” fantastic. Silken tofu are mostly used in desserts, for dips, in sauce etc because of it's texture, meaning that what the silken tofu does to this recipe is to not add any flavor into it, but rather just bringing out the creamy silken texture we want for a mousse. So the silken tofu is amazing in this case and makes this mousse into the creamy fantastic dessert it is. Don’t let this one ingredient possibly freak you out, this recipe needs to be made!
