Helpful Tips
For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the mousse mixture. If you prefer a less sweet mousse, reduce the maple syrup to taste. Feel free to play with the garnish—shaved dairy-free chocolate or a sprinkle of cocoa powder would also be delightful.
Storage Instructions
This mousse can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Be sure to cover the serving cups with plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you don’t have silken tofu, you can use coconut cream for a slightly different, yet equally delicious, texture. Agave syrup or any other liquid sweetener can replace maple syrup.
Pairings
Pair this Vegan Chocolate Mousse with a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream or a side of warm, freshly baked vegan cookies. For drinks, a cup of hot mint tea or a chilled glass of almond milk complements the rich chocolate flavor wonderfully.
