- 1½ tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or agave

Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for this silken tofu chocolate mousse is the longer the vegan tofu chocolate mousse sets in the fridge, the better it will be. I recommend allowing it to set overnight for the best results!
- Blend the mousse: There is no need to overmix the mousse when you are blending it. Once it’s smooth and creamy, I pour it into individual pots!
- Store it right: I transfer the mousse into jars or containers with airtight lids to keep it fresh. This helps it stay smooth and tasty even after a day in the fridge.
- Serve it chilled: I like to serve this dairy-free chocolate mousse cold because it tastes rich and refreshing. It also sets nicely in the fridge, giving it a perfect creamy texture.
- Enjoy as a dip: Sometimes I serve this mousse as a dip for a fun dessert platter. Graham crackers, cookies, or fresh fruit taste amazing with the smooth chocolate flavor.
