Chocolate Tofu Mousse
Chocolate Tofu Mousse – Our dairy-free, vegan recipe!
Our vegan chocolate tofu mousse is a rich and creamy dessert that will leave you both full and satisfied. All ingredients are dairy-free and vegan so it can be enjoyed by many. Where possible use high quality ingredients as this truly makes a difference to this recipe. Source good quality chocolate and cacao powders – we use an 80% cocoa chocolate and rich cacao powder.
Ingredients:
Silken Tofu
80% Dark chocolate
Cacao powder
Maple Syrup
Sea Salt
The base of this recipe is Silken Tofu. Silken Tofu is a great base for creamy desserts as it has minimal flavour and creates a soft whip texture when blended. It is high in calcium, protein and soya. Soya is a wonder for women’s health, especially those experiencing the menopause.
Soya products are a natural estrogen which helps to reduce hot flushes and lower LDL-cholesterol. LDL-cholesterol is often elevated during and post menopause due to a reduction in estrogen production. High LDL-cholesterol can increase heart disease and stroke, so it is essential we try to keep this to a minimum.
Additionally, the high amounts of protein and calcium help to keep us full as well as support bone health and muscle growth and repair. Silken tofu is often found in the Asian sections of supermarkets and the one that we used for this recipe is YUTAKA.
