We use the secret ingredient, silken tofu, with decadent melted chocolate, cocoa, and a handful of other ingredients blended up to make the most creamy, mouthwatering dessert that’s packed with almost 10g of protein and 5g of fiber per serving!
Friends, it’s not often that I’m lost for words, but this Dairy-Free Chocolate Mousse seriously has me speechless.
Upon first decadent, creamy bite of this vegan mousse, I was absolutely hooked. It’s silky, smooth and rich with chocolatey goodness, while still being packed with almost 10 grams of protein per serving!
And you know, as a Registered Dietitian, I’m no stranger to sharing tons of easy dessert recipes that still pack some serious nutrition, just like my Peanut Butter Chocolate Energy Balls that only take 10 minutes to make and are the perfect midday snack!
Finally, A Vegan Mousse Without Avocado!
A lot of chocolate mousse recipes use avocado, so I decided to test a version of this recipe that uses avocado, but personally, I think it’s so much better without it.
The texture is kind of like a mix between chocolate mousse and ice cream, since it’s a little stiffer than your traditional mousse. But if you want more of a real ‘mousse’ texture, I’ve also tried letting it set in the fridge for just 30 minutes rather than 2-4 hours, which gives you a much lighter mousse!
So What’s the Secret Ingredient?
Drumroll, please… Silken tofu! Okay, I know what you might be thinking, tofu in a dessert?! But trust me when I say that you can’t even taste it, just like in my 15-Minute Garlic & Lemon Creamy Tofu Pasta Sauce!
If you’re a tofu hater, I have no shortage of easy and delicious tofu recipes that will definitely change your mind. But you can totally start with this one, because I can say with almost one hundred percent confidence that you’ll be obsessed after trying this recipe!
