What a yummy way to combine tofu and chocolate! To create this delicious and cruelty free treat, I first searched for a good recipe. I found this one in my MercyForAnimals.org’s Vegetarian Starter Kit. I used:
1 lb. of firm tofu (though the recipe calls for 1 1/4 lbs. silken tofu)
3/4 cup semisweet vegan chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup of organic sugar (optional)
To Make
1. First melt the chocolate chips. Set aside.
2. Blend the tofu to a puree.
3. Add melted chocolate to blender. Blend to smooth consistency.
4. Add sugar to taste. I love sweets, so we added a full cup!
5. Either pour the mousse into 6 dessert bowls and chill, or pour mousse into a container (like a quart size yogurt container) and chill.
This is one of my favorite ways to indulge my love affair with chocolate and not feel guilty about it (for sake of the animals and my hips).
Do you have any favorite tofu dessert recipes? If so, I hope you’ll share with the rest of us!

Yummy! I made this and I love it!!
Abbie, I will have to search for Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. When you say that “everyone” loved them, that means folks who love animal products too, right?
Regina, I really loved this one and am going to remake it with the Silken tofu to see if that makes any difference. I was, however, quite pleased with the taste when I used firm tofu.
Yum! I’m making this tonight, or tomorrow.
That looks good! I made a whole bunch of vegan cupcakes last year with my sister-in-law. They were awesome! The recipes were from a book called “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.” Everyone loved them!
