This Smooth Creamy Chocolate Mousse de tofu is made with only 5 ingredients for a quick healthy plant-based dessert. Plus, this chocolate mousse is also vegan, gluten-free, and ready in mai puțin decât 30 minute.
I love healthy vegan alternatives to classic chocolate mousse, like my Mousse de ciocolată cu dovleac plăcintar, cu 3 ingrediente or Mousse de ciocolată cu avocado. When I was a kid, I was making the French spuma de ciocolata recipe all the time.
Chocolate mousse recipes are a great way of hiding healthy ingredients, such as butternut squash, avocado, or, like in this one, tofu. A tofu mousse is a dairy-free chocolate mousse made from a block of silken tofu into a creamy smooth chocolate dessert! It’s naturally Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Egg-free, and vegan approved.
Ingrediente și substituții
All you need to make a tofu mousse are a high-speed blender or food processor and a few ingredients below:

- Tofu de mătase – Read the section below about the difference between firm tofu and silken tofu. You must use silken tofu to make tasty chocolate mousse from tofu.
- Ciocolata Neagra – use good quality vegan dark chocolate made for baking with about 60% cocoa for best sweetness balance. Of course, if you want to decrease the sugar, or you love ultra-dark chocolate mousse, then use 70% or 85%-cocoa dark chocolate.
- Sirop de arțar sau orice îndulcitor lichid vă place.
- Pudră de cacao neîndulcită – optional. Add only to thicken up the mousse or increase its cocoa flavor.
- Extract de vanilie – This boosts the chocolate flavors, so I highly recommend it, even if it’s optional!
How To Make Silken Tofu Mousse
The key to making a tasty chocolate mousse out of tofu is to bring ingredients at room temperature. I recommend using silken tofu that doesn’t need refrigeration for this recipe, so you can store it at room temperature.
Otherwise, bring the tofu block out of the fridge 1 hour before baking. You shouldn’t use ultra-cold tofu because the melted chocolate firms up and hardens too fast if in contact with cold ingredients. The mousse recipe will fail if your tofu is too cold.
- Pour the dark chocolate chips into a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, stirring until the chocolate chips have fully melted. You can also bring the chocolate chips over medium-low heat in a saucepan.

- Now, open the tofu packaging, drain the water and place the silken tofu into the bowl of your food processor.
- Blend a few seconds to pulse, then add the remaining ingredients: melted dark chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

- When all the ingredients are combined and completely smooth, stop the food processor.
- Taste the mousse and adjust the flavor by adding more vanilla extract, more cocoa powder for a thicker texture, more robust cocoa flavor, and more sweetener to boost the sweetness.
- Transfer the tofu mousse into small ramekins. Film the top of the ramekin with plastic wrap to prevent the mousse from drying out.
- Store it in the fridge for a few hours before serving and enjoy its best texture.

Întrebări frecvente
Below, I listed the answers to the most frequent questions about this vegan chocolate mousse.
Silken tofu is soft, jiggly tofu, often referred to as Japanese Tofu, that you can buy in the non-refrigerated Japanese section in the grocery store. It’s made like regular firm tofu, but the soy milk is coagulated without curdling the milk. It results in a softer texture that feels like jelly and is perfect to use in vegan sauce and vegan dessert recipes.
Yes, you can make a vegan white chocolate mousse with tofu if you add vegan-friendly white chocolate in the recipe instead of dark chocolate chips. Skip the cocoa powder and add a tablespoon of coconut milk powder.
Yes, tofu is a low-carb ingredient, and it makes delicious diabetes-friendly vegan desserts. Use sugar-free sweetener or sugar-free chocolate to cut out the added sugar in the recipe if needed.
No, as mentioned above, silken tofu is the best option for dessert because it’s silky smooth with no grainy texture. The recipe will work with other tofu varieties, but the taste won’t be as good.
You can store this chocolate mousse for up to 4 days in a sealed container in the fridge. Tofu chocolate mousse is an easy-to-freeze dessert. Freeze it in small sealed containers for up to 3 months and thaw in the fridge the day before.

Mulțumesc!
i just made it!!!! I have to add coconut milk to soften maybe because mi tofu was extra firm but the result was amazing!!!!
Mulțumesc că ai încercat rețetele mele!
Could you just use cocoa powder instead of chocolate?
Unfortunately no, it will not firm up as a mousse.
This recipe is positively delicious! An added bonus is that It is quick and easy to make! Definitely worthy of five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
It was delicious .. I topped with grated chocolate and grated orange rhind
I thought the consistency was spot on! I too could taste the tofu using the silken kind. it wasn’t bad… just different. I wonder if a bit more cocoa or a little espresso powder would take that away.
I made this tofu mousse, it is very delicious and easy to make. I will be making over and over. I added strawberries and blueberries.
