Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 340 grams (12 ounces) extra firm tofu
- 3 scoops vegan chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Liquid Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the primary components by carefully positioning the tofu, coconut milk, chocolate, sweetener, and vanilla extract near your high-powered blending apparatus.
- Transfer all ingredients into the blender, ensuring each component is measured precisely for optimal texture and flavor integration.
- Activate the blender and process the mixture at high speed, creating a silky-smooth consistency that eliminates any visible tofu fragments and completely incorporates the chocolate.
- Pause and scrape down the blender’s sides to guarantee uniform blending, then restart the machine to achieve a perfectly homogeneous mixture.
- Assess the mousse’s thickness, adding small increments of coconut milk if the texture appears too dense or requires additional fluidity.
- Once the mixture reaches a luxuriously creamy state with a glossy chocolate appearance, cease blending to prevent over-processing.
- Select a clean, sealed storage container and gently pour the mousse mixture, ensuring minimal air bubbles and a pristine surface.
- Carefully place the container in the refrigerator, allowing the mousse to chill and solidify for a minimum of 60 minutes, which enables proper texture development.
- After the chilling period, retrieve the mousse and prepare for serving by optionally garnishing with fresh seasonal berries, delicate chocolate shavings, or a cloud-like dollop of coconut cream.
- For optimal enjoyment, consume within three to four days while stored in a tightly sealed container within the refrigerator’s cool environment.
