Equipment

  • High speed blender or food processor

Ingredients

  • 300 g silken tofu
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to the high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You may need to stop the blender, tamp down the ingredients, and start again a few times to get the blender started.
  • Add the mixture to a jar or container with a lid and place in the fridge to set for a minimum of 2 hours (4 hours ideally). Once it's set, serve and enjoy!

Notes

While this dairy-free chocolate mousse is totally delicious even after 2 hours of resting time in the fridge, I do recommend letting it set for at least 4 hours to get the best texture. 
If you need tips to melt your chocolate chips, I like microwaving them in a microwave safe ramekin for 30 second intervals, until about half of the chocolate chips are melted, then stirring the chocolate chips until they're all melted. You can also use a double boiler instead!
