Vegan Chocolate Mousse


I made this the other day. Super easy and ridiculously good. I didn't add vanilla this time, came out the same to me.

Ingredients:
1 package of silken tofu (~12 oz) I usually use firm.
10 oz vegan dark chocolate chips, about one small package. (Many dark chocolate chips are vegan; check the ingredients).
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
Blend tofu (preferably at room temperature) in food processor, blender, or with hand mixer until just smooth.
In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips with a Tbsp. (or two) of water over low heat. Stir constantly.
Add maple syrup and vanilla to melted chocolate and combine.
Then mix with tofu in food processor until creamy.
Pour into very small serving dishes or glasses, (OR put into a pie crust-Arrowhead Mills makes a good vegan one) and turn it into a pie) cover and chill in fridge- this stuff is rich!!

Additions: Nice with any fresh fruit. Can also use as a frosting for a cake
