A creamy, decadent dessert made with silken tofu, peanut butter, and coconut milk, topped with a rich chocolate ganache. This vegan-friendly dessert is perfect for any peanut butter and chocolate lover.

Ingredients

350 grams silken tofu

3-4 tbsp smooth peanut butter (to taste)

3-4 tbsp agave syrup (or maple syrup, or powdered sugar)

1 tsp vanilla paste or extract

1 pinch salt

100 grams 70% dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)

400g tin full-fat coconut milk (use only the creamy part at the top, solidified after chilling in the fridge)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the silken tofu, peanut butter, agave syrup (or sweetener of choice), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  2. Spoon the mousse mixture into ramekins or small jars. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the ganache.
  3. To make the chocolate ganache, melt the dark chocolate chips using a microwave or a double boiler (Bain Marie). Once melted, add the solidified creamy portion of the coconut milk and whisk until smooth. It’s okay if a little bit of the liquid part of the coconut milk mixes in; it adds to the texture.
  4. Pour the ganache over the chilled peanut butter mousse. Refrigerate for an additional hour to allow the ganache to set.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Sweetener Swap: You can use maple syrup, powdered sugar, or any sweetener of your choice for the mousse. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
  • Nut Butters: Swap out peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter for a different twist on the flavor.
  • Ganache Twist: Add a pinch of sea salt or a dash of espresso powder to the ganache for a richer, more complex flavor.
  • Flavor Boost: Blend in a tablespoon of cocoa powder with the mousse to intensify the chocolate flavor.
  • Storage: Store the mousse in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed chilled, with no need to reheat it.
