When Rupy introduced the team to this recipe no one could believe they were eating tofu. It is not only better for you than conventional chocolate mousse, it is lighter and more balanced.
Rupy likes to serve it drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and flaky sea salt for a savoury note. If you prefer, you can serve it with berries to lighten it up.

The better the cacao and chocolate you use, the more delicious your mousse will be. Make sure your chocolate contains at least 80% cocoa solids and choose a raw cacao powder.

I made it with tofu and the same recipe with Avocado. I added 1 tsp of vanilla, and replaced the Maple syrup with Monk fruit, Delicious dessert!!
Delicious! Nice & easy to make, so simple but what a treat!
Amazing that this is tofu! It tasted great but the texture was a bit grainy.
Insanely delicious. The perfect dessert. Thanks Dr Rupy for bestowing this and many other great recipes upon me!
i made it with semi sweet bakers chocolate bar.for those in the US. and i didn’t have cocoa powder and it still turned out great. the tofu gives it a tang taste that’s similar to yogurt i’m not sure if that’s normal i’ve never had silken tofu before but i love that this app is getting me to eat it.
What a winner! I like something sweet after my dinner and this so hit the spot. Topped with some yogurt with vanilla protein powder and some blueberries. Wasn't tempted by any other sweet treats. Will make again and also experiment with a white chocolate version.
Delicious chocolate hit. Easy to make
Quite rich. You only need a small serving
Healthy and easy treat for chocolate lovers. Still experimenting with berries, etc.
Truly delicious
OMG! I just made this and sprinkled some chores cashews and fresh lavender on top. Truly delicious! Thankyou TDK. 😘
This recipe is absolutely delicious! It is fancy enough to make for guests and easy enough to make for a quick weekday snack! The whole family approved!
It’s so yum. I make this at least once maybe twice a week. It fills my sweet tooth needs. The dark choc adds that extra indulgence and I often add grated orange rind and a squeeze of orange juice cuz I love chocolate and orange together, they pair well. Reminds me of the orange choc mousse I used to make years ago but this is healthy so win, win 🤗 love it 😻
Intense chocolate flavour – perfect if you’re a fan of very dark chocolate. Personally, next time I’ll leave out the cocoa and choose a less intense chocolate.
I have cooked this loads of times, so easy to do and tastes great!
Outstanding flavour. Will definitely be a regular. Feels,very indulgent
The flavor of this is outstanding!
Healthy and yummy.
I thought it might be on the bitter side but no it was perfect
Wow what a quick and impressive little dessert that goes a long way! I added blueberries rather than olive oil to serve and it was so delicious. Perfect for a dinner party!
Dark chocolate, however you might want to add a bit more syrup for sweetness
This is delicious but I don’t see how it can only be 271 calories with the chocolate and maple syrup. I used 85% dark chocolate. I had to add some water as it was far too thick a consistency.
was delicious. my daughter and her friend also enjoyed it. i added cinnamon to the blender and we added freeze dried raspberries to the top. fresh ones would have been more delicious but used what we had on hand.
So easy and delicious - I wasn’t a fan of the salt and olive oil so topped with strawberries the next time I made it. Will be a regular dessert now
Really tasty, quick and easy!
Staple, go to dairy free dessert. Lovely.
This is the easiest and most forgiving dessert recipe I've ever made. Light, smooth texture yet so nutritious. I substituted a TBSP of high flavanol cocoa for part of the cacao to amp up the nutrition a bit more. A luxurious dessert.
We'll definitely serve this to my family. Could I assist cottage cheese in it?
I added a whole package of silken tofu when making 5 servings. It made it richer and higher in protein.
Enjoyed it along with my guest!
Felt virtuous while enjoying it as knew protein… and little sugar. Nicely presented with sliced almonds. Maybe will add a little instant espresso and /or cinnamon next time!
Very nice! Quick to make and very satisfying. If someone really hates tofu or healthy dessert they may detect that something is off and it’s not all chocolate but otherwise it’s really yum and topping is really important here. I don’t like the EVOO and sea salt. I did like roasted hazelnuts and drizzle of maple syrup though
Why does the recipe say it contains dairy? I've made this twice and I think the tofu texture comes through. However, the second time I squeezed the tofu a little and added rum as per Jamie Oliver. Much nicer. He also suggests lime as well as rum but I didn't have any. I think either / both of these will cut through the soya texture.
OMG! This is so yummy. As always I followed the exact recipe and it was so quick and easy to make. Even better that it taste so delicious. It certainly is one way of getting the dark chocolate in your healthy diet and a dessert you don’t have to feel guilty about eating.
Yummmmmy!
Needed to blend the tofu better next time. We really liked the thick texture and rich taste using nut butter vegan chocolate.
Have refrigerated ingredients at room temp before adding melted chocolate to avoid solidifying the chocolate before it is blended in.
Having asked for directions to use ordinary tofu, this week I actually found some silken tofu. It was not with the other tofus and tempeh, but I the Jappo never secttion. I made it tonight and it was delicious. I sprinkled the top with crushed ameretti biscuits, which added a nice crunch, even if it made it less healthy!
Delicious Valentine’s dessert with raspberries on top 👌 husband really enjoyed it. So quick and easy to make
Absolutely amazing! the chocolatiest thing I've ever eaten.
Really lovely but needs something a little sweeter to accompany it. Tinned peaches work very well 😀
Well I had to improvise andI did it with 2/3 avocado and 1/3 almond cream because i only had firm tofu at home. The family loved it. Next rime I’ll follow the recipe
Rich dark and decadent, what's not to like. Easy to make rich and smooth and tastes divine.
I’m in Australia and used the Woolworths Macro extra soft tofu - personally I can taste soy a little so I added 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and a half a sachet (2g) of a instant coffee blend I use (Eimele Pro-Tabolism Plus ) - I served with the olive oil and salt as per recipe and it was PERFECTION,
Fabulous. Easy. Olive oil and salt also wonderful to finish it off. Didn't last long in our house
This was delicious. We enjoyed it for two days as wasn’t sure what I could do with the rest of the tofu. Not that I’m complaining. I have made a similar recipe using cottage cheese which was also very nice
Absolutely decadent mousse and made a super breakfast topper for chia pudding fresh raspberries and chopped nuts with a spoon of yoghurt.Another regular go to🥰
Great recipe. Rich chocolate and great texture
Lovely recipe! Top tip measure the cacao before the maple syrup so the measuring spoon is dry for the cacao. Will be using this as icing for a vegan chocolate cake also.
Very rich and delicious, only needed a small portion, the addition of sea salt really elevates to another level.
This is delicious, very chocolatey and it's healthy! Goes well with an after dinner coffee.
This recipe is very satisfying even with less maple syrup! Thank you
So easy to make and delicious. I added a tap of vanilla.
