Like many other recipes on the blog, this recipe for vegan chocolate mousse is an inspiration after a dinner out at a favourite restaurant. There is a wonderful vegan restaurant in Sofia (the capital of my home country Bulgaria) with very original and interesting vegan cuisine… Last summer we were there and for dessert, we ate a unique chocolate mousse with silken tofu and banana. I immediately imagined what the ingredients were. I knew I would like the taste even more without the banana taste but with some fresh fruit maybe.
The idea for my version of the vegan chocolate mousse was born. It was not long ago when I came across silken tofu (Silken Tofu) in an organic store in the area where I live. Silken tofu (or soft tofu) is very different from standard hard tofu. Silken Tofu has high water content and has a pudding-like texture. It has a creamy, smooth, and relatively neutral taste. Silken tofu is suitable for soups, creams and mousses, baked desserts, and also for dressings.
I’m just starting to experiment with this product and I’m sure I’ll find many ways to use it in my recipes.

How to make this tasty vegan chocolate mousse step by step
Vegan Chocolate Mousse Recipe
Ingredients
- 400 g silken tofu
- 50 g Dark chocolate vegan, 70 % cocoa or higher
- 1 avocado ripe and soft
- 10-15 fresh dates
Instructions
- Soak the dates in warm water and leave them for 5-10 minutes. This will make it a lot easier to peel off the skin. If you want the mousse to be smooth, you don't want to feel any pieces in your mouth later.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a water bath and let it cool.
- Peel the dates and remove the stones. Peel the avocado and put it in the blender or a bowl, add the silk tofu and dates. Add the melted chocolate. Using the blender, mix until the mixture is homogeneous and smooth.
- Put in suitable cups or bowls and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Decorate as desired with fresh fruit, grated chocolate, or nuts.
