Instructions
- Prepare the mousse: In a blender, combine the silken tofu, peanut butter, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or peanut butter according to preference.
- Chill the mousse: Spoon the mixture into ramekins or jars. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing the ganache.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Add coconut milk: Stir the thick coconut cream into the melted chocolate, whisking until well combined. It may look slightly separated initially but will become smooth.
- Assemble: Pour the ganache over the chilled peanut butter mousse. Return to the refrigerator and let set for about 1 hour.
- Serve: Once set, serve chilled, and enjoy this rich, vegan dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the coconut milk is well refrigerated so the cream separates easily from the liquid.
- You can substitute maple syrup or powdered sugar for agave to suit your taste.
- Using a high-quality dark chocolate makes the ganache richer and more flavorful.
- This dessert can be made a day in advance and kept refrigerated.
- Garnish with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired for extra flair.
