Ingredients

1 (12.3 ounce) package of silken tofu
1/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder
Pinch of sea salt
Chocolate shavings optional garnish

Directions

  1. Remove the silken tofu from the package and drain out any excess liquid. Place in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
  2. Melt the chocolate chips over a double boiler by simply heating them in a heat-proof bowl place on top of a small pan with simmering hot water. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula until chocolate chips have completely melted being careful not to let the chocolate burn. Remove bowl of melted chocolate from the heat.
  3. Stir the vanilla extract, espresso powder and salt into the melted chocolate until combined. Add chocolate mixture to the tofu in the food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy.
  4. Divide chocolate mousse between two glasses or serving bowls and refrigerate until chilled - 2 hours or overnight. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
