Decadent 2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
2-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
- 10 ounces of bittersweet chocolate morsels
- 1 block (16 ounces) of silken tofu
- Coarse kosher salt
- Fresh berries, whipped cream, and/or additional toppings as desired (for serving; optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Start by measuring out 10 ounces of bittersweet chocolate chips and placing them in a large microwave-safe bowl. Pop the bowl into the microwave and set it to high heat. Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, taking it out to give it a good stir after each burst. You'll want to keep an eye on it, and after about a minute, the chocolate should be perfectly melted and smooth, with a glossy finish. Once it reaches that point, set the bowl aside and let it cool slightly while you prepare the next step.
Step 2
To start, take your 16-ounce block of silken tofu and cut it into smaller cubes. This will help your blender work its magic more easily. Toss the tofu cubes into the blender and blend on high speed until it’s completely smooth and creamy—this should take about 30 seconds. Now, sprinkle in a pinch of kosher salt to enhance the flavor. Next, add your reserved melted chocolate to the blender. Begin blending at a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Keep an eye on the mixture; you want it to become fluffy and smooth, but be careful not to over-blend, as that can cause it to deflate. You’ll know it’s ready when it has a light, airy texture that looks irresistible!
Step 3
Once your mousse is ready, it’s time to serve it up! Gently spoon the luscious chocolate mixture into four individual bowls, dividing it evenly to ensure everyone gets a generous portion. After that, cover each bowl loosely with plastic wrap to keep the mousse from absorbing any unwanted odors in the fridge. Now, pop them into the refrigerator and let them chill for at least an hour, or up to 12 hours if you want to prepare it ahead of time. When you’re ready to enjoy, the mousse should be set and have a delightful, velvety texture. Feel free to top it off with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or any of your favorite toppings to elevate your dessert experience!

My Tip
To achieve a perfectly fluffy texture in your chocolate mousse, make sure to blend the silken tofu until it’s completely smooth before adding the melted chocolate. This ensures a creamy base that incorporates air beautifully, giving you that light, airy finish.
Leftovers
To store your leftover chocolate mousse, transfer it to an airtight container and pop it in the fridge, where it will stay fresh for up to 3 days. When you're ready to enjoy it again, just give it a gentle stir to restore its creamy texture—no reheating needed!
Make It Your Own
For a fun twist, try swapping the silken tofu for 1 cup of coconut cream for a rich, dairy-free version. This will give your mousse a tropical flavor and a luscious texture that pairs beautifully with fresh berries!
