Hi guys! today I'm going to show you how
to make a chocolate mousse- but not just
any chocolate mousse, this one is dairy
free and egg free- now traditional
chocolate mousse does have raw eggs but
I know that a lot of you are not
comfortable using raw eggs in desserts
or you don't eat eggs so this is a
perfect recipe for you now we're gonna
add a little twist to make it a little
bit more special and this recipe is made
with some ingredients that might seem a
bit unconventional to you but you just
have to trust me I hope you like this
recipe as much as I do so let's get
started
to begin I'm roughly chopping some tofu
yes you heard right, tofu - just
go with it
you'll need 340 grams of silken tofu for
this recipe, it's a lot softer than
regular tofu and it lends a super creamy
texture add the tofu to a high-powered
add the tofu to a high-powered
blender or food processor, I also like to
toss in a quarter teaspoon of instant
espresso powder and a handful of fresh
raspberries but both of these
ingredients are totally optional
remember this is your chocolate mousse
and you can flavor it however you'd like
also trickle in a quarter cup of milk
regular or non-dairy both work
next throw in a splash of vanilla extract
followed by one to two tablespoons of
maple syrup or another sweetener such as agave
here I have a hundred and seventy
grams of dark chocolate,
now you could use milk chocolate if you like
and I'm just gonna melt this chocolate in the
microwave stirring after every 30
seconds or until it's nice and smooth
let the chocolate cool slightly till it
reaches room temperature and then you
can add it to the rest of the ingredients
and now you are ready to blend
give the mixture whiz until it's
silky smooth and resembles the likes of
a chocolate milkshake
it'll be a little thin but just wait it'll solidify nicely
once you let it chill for a bit
pour the mixture into your desired serving dishes
I like to use little jars
and you want to chill the pots for about 30 minutes
to an hour or until it's nice and
solidified
to serve I like to garnish the mousse with some chocolate shavings
roughly chopped pistachios
and a couple of fresh raspberries for that beautiful bright colour
this chocolate mousse is
rich with a creamy texture, making it a
tasty possibly vegan alternative to an
all-time classic
and no one has to know that secret
ingredient

watching I really hope you enjoyed

non-traditional but still delicious
chocolate mousse
