Ingredients

Chocolate Mousse

  • 1 cup dates pitted and soaked (150 g)
  • 1 cup silken tofu 250 g
  • 1 cup dark chocolate melted (140 g)
  • ½ cup aquafaba/chickpea liquid 120 ml
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar optional

Optional toppings

  • Shredded coconut
  • Dark chocolate shavings
  • Raspberries
  • Coconut whipped cream

Instructions

  • Drain your soaked and pitted dates well, then place them into a food processor and pulse to obtain a puree.
  • Add the silken tofu and melted dark chocolate, then process again until a creamy batter forms.
  • Pour the aquafaba and cream of tartar (if using) into a medium-sized bowl and whip with a hand mixer to obtain a frothy mixture. This may take a couple of minutes, so don’t worry!
  • Slowly add the chocolate mixture from the food processor into the fluffy aquafaba. Gently whisk with a spoon to incorporate until you have a creamy chocolate mousse. 
  • Divide into glasses and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
  • Garnish with the recommended toppings or any toppings of choice.

Notes

  • Don’t worry if the aquafaba deflates a bit when you mix in the other ingredients!
  • Ensure that the chocolate, tofu and date mixture is at room temperature when adding the fluffy aquafaba.
  • Your utensils should be free from detergents and oils to ensure the best results.
