healthy chocolate mousse

It’s divine, simple, and velvety smooth… It&#39;s Vegan Chocolate Mousse! This luxurious and rich dessert comes together in no time using some seriously chocolatey ingredients and is served with homemade raspberry compote on top.

Vegan Chocolate Mousse

(140 grams) good-quality dairy-free dark chocolate (70 to 80%), chopped*

espresso powder ((omit if caffeine-free))

(340 grams, about 1 ½ cups) silken soft tofu**

Medjool dates

(80 grams) pure maple syrup

(24 grams) Dutch process cocoa powder***

vanilla extract

cinnamon ((optional))

salt

raspberries, (fresh (248 grams) or frozen (210 grams))

maple syrup

orange zest

orange juice

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. To assemble a double boiler, grab a heatproof bowl that can be nestled into a saucepan—it should hover above the bottom of the pan. Fill the pan up with a few inches of water. Keep the water at a rapid simmer. Place the chocolate in the bowl and whisk frequently until melted, making sure no water comes near the chocolate.To melt in the microwave: Chop chocolate into small pieces and heat in the microwave on high power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each round.

Meanwhile, cover the dates with freshly boiled water. Soak for 15 minutes, then drain and remove the pits.

If using refrigerated tofu, scoop it out of its package and measure out 12 ounces. Do not pat dry or try to remove excess water.

In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the tofu with about 3 tablespoons of water that has accumulated; if not enough water has accumulated, add 3 tablespoons of filtered water. Add the dates, maple syrup, cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon (if using), and ½ teaspoon sea salt. Blend really well until the dates are fully pulverized and the cocoa has been mixed in, scraping down the sides as you go.

Now add the melted, cooled chocolate and blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as you go. Taste, adding more salt to taste (I like adding an extra ¼ tsp salt for that sweet-and-salty flavor). Divide amongst 6 to 8 ramekins or small dessert glasses and chill for at least 1 hour to thicken (don’t store all of it in one big container, as it seems to thicken it more).

Meanwhile, make the raspberry compote: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, maple syrup, orange zest and juice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. When the mixture starts to bubble quickly, stir almost continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the berries break down and start to thicken. Simmer for 10 minutes, until thickened and jammy. Let come to room temp or chill in the fridge.

To serve, rest the mousse at room temp for a few minutes. To serve, add a few spoons of compote on top of each mousse.
