1. Melt the Chocolate

2. Blend Until Creamy
- In a blender or food processor, add silken tofu, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Pour in the melted chocolate and blend until completely smooth and creamy. If needed, add a splash of plant milk for better consistency.
3. Chill & Serve
- Transfer the mousse to small serving cups or ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to allow the flavors to develop.
4. Garnish & Enjoy
- Top with vegan whipped cream, cacao nibs, fresh berries, or chopped nuts before serving.

FAQ:
Q: Can I use firm tofu instead of silken tofu?
Silken tofu gives the best smooth texture, but if using firm tofu, add extra plant milk to blend smoothly.
Q: Can I make this sugar-free?
Yes! Replace maple syrup with stevia or date paste for a natural, sugar-free version.
Q: How can I make it fluffier?
For an airy texture, fold in whipped aquafaba (chickpea brine) or coconut whipped cream.
