This shortcut chocolate mousse has a silky, creamy texture just like classic chocolate mousse. It also contains a hidden healthy high protein ingredient that you won’t taste at all.

Ingredients

  • Dark chocolate
  • Silken tofu

Dark chocolate: I used dark chocolate that contains around 60% cocoa. If you need the mousse to be dairy-free, make sure to use a dairy-free dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has a strong cocoa flavor so you won’t taste the tofu.

Silken tofu: Make sure to use silken tofu, which gives the mousse a silky and smooth texture. The water needs to be drained from the tofu before using.

How to Make Healthier Chocolate Mousse

  • The dark chocolate is melted until smooth. Let the chocolate cool slightly for a few minutes.
  • The dark chocolate and tofu are added to a blender and blended until smooth.
  • Transfer the mixture into small bowls or ramekins. Place into the fridge until set.
  • You can garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or serve with fresh fruit.

Expert Tips

  • I prefer making this mousse with dark chocolate. You can use other types of chocolate, but it will affect the consistency of your mousse.
  • Tofu comes in many forms including silken, soft, firm, extra firm. This recipe works best with silken tofu so look for that to be on the label. Other types of tofu will cause the mousse to set too firm and the texture will not be as smooth.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (192g) dark chocolate chips, see note
  • 1 (16 oz/454g) package silken tofu, excess liquid drained off

Instructions
 

  • Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate on the stove using the double boiler method. Let cool slightly for a few minutes so it is warm but not hot.
  • Add the drained silken tofu and melted chocolate to a high powered blender.
  • Blend until completely smooth, glossy, and uniform, scraping down the sides as needed, about 30–60 seconds total blending time.
  • Scoop the mousse into small ramekins or serving bowls. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until chilled and set. You can garnish with fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate shavings or other toppings.
  • Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Chocolate note: This recipe works best with dark chocolate with around 60% cocoa. You can use higher percentage and the mousse will be more firm. You can use lower percentage cocoa but the mousse will be less set. If you need the mousse to be dairy-free, make sure to use dairy-free chocolate chips.
