This simple yet delicious chocolate mousse created by healthy cooking instructor Katherine Lawrence is easily customizable and sneakily doubles as an easy pie filling.
What you need:
1 block silken tofu (12.3 oz), firm
3/4 cup vegan milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
1 cup sliced strawberries (optional)
Optional Mix-ins:
1 teaspoon mint extract
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 banana, sliced
What you do:
- In a blender, add tofu, milk, and vanilla, and process until smooth. For a soy-free version, substitute 1 ripe avocado and 1 cup cooked sweet potato for tofu.
- In a small pot over low heat, gently melt chocolate chips, then add to blender and process.
- To customize, add optional ingredients (banana, mint extract, or peanut butter) to blender and process.
- Pour into small cups and place in refrigerator to chill for 3 hours. If using as pie filling, pour into prepared crust instead of cups. Once pudding has set, remove from refrigerator and top with strawberries, if using.
