What’s not to love about a healthy dessert made with plant-based vegan goodness like this tasty avocado tofu chocolate mousse?

It’s great for a snack or it’s elegant for dinner guests and so easy to put together. You’ll be out of the kitchen in a flash.

Tofu Chocolate Mousse

Low fat and sugar desserts are sometimes hard to find but this chocolate mousse is a classic that’s often made with just tofu but I’ve added one avocado to mix it up and add a little good fat.

Chocolate is a healthy addition to your diet unless you’re sensitive to caffeine. I like to use cacao instead of cocoa.

The difference is that cacao is not roasted and therefore retains more of its enzymes and has more antioxidants. You can, however, use cocoa if you prefer.

These healthy plant-based snacks are not to be missed:

  • Spicy Molasses Bars
  • Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies
  • Cherry Vanilla Swirl Cake Bites
  • Blueberry Lemon Bars
  • Banana Bread with Maple Glaze

And you may have heard that chocolate is, for the most part, good for you, although it does contain some caffeine so if you’re sensitive you may not want to have any late at night. It usually contains sugar and fat so eat sparingly.

It really is dark chocolate which has the most antioxidants containing “up to 2-3 times more flavanol-rich cocoa solids than milk chocolate” according to the Harvard School of Public Health.

Tops with some delightful raspberries or strawberries for beautiful color and a pop of flavor.

    This is awesome!! I am going to try it with chocolate almond milk as my daughter thought the powdered cocoa didn’t blend very well so seeing if this will take away the “dirty” taste she was complaining about! Just between you and me all my vegan friends loved it!!! Thankful for wonderful people sharing healthy recipes to make our lives alittle bit better!

      You’re so sweet to say so, Annette. Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It should be delicious with any non-dairy milk. 😉

    We tried this recipe, the texture was so smooth, but the sweetness was over run by the cocoa powder. It made it have a dirty after taste. Is there any other ways we can get a chocolate flavour without using cocoa powder?

      Hi, I would suggest decreasing the amount of cocoa powder in the recipe to see if that helps. You can use cacao powder but I’m pretty sure that won’t fix what you’ve described. I know carob is often used as a substitute for chocolate, but otherwise, I don’t know of another substitute.

    I tried adding a little coconut extract and sea salt to this as well and it was delicious!

    Should the tofu be pressed beforehand?

      You do not need to press it. The extra firm tofu helps.
