This Vegan Silken Tofu Peanut Butter Mousse is unbelievably rich and creamy—you’d never guess it’s made with tofu! Best of all, it requires just 10 ingredients and a food processor.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Silken tofu: For the creamiest mousse, we recommend using shelf-stable silken tofu over refrigerated silken tofu, which has a higher water content and may separate after chilling.
- Peanut butter: Natural peanut butter creates a smoother, richer flavor, but no-stir creamy peanut butter works too!
- Powdered sugar: Adds a neutral sweetness without overpowering the flavor of the peanut butter. For the smoothest mousse, sift your powdered sugar first!
- Maple syrup: A tablespoon of maple syrup adds depth of flavor and enhances the richness of the mousse.
- Vanilla extract: Adds warmth and depth, rounding out the flavors of the overall dessert.
- Salt: Helps to balance the sweetness and enhances the nuttiness of peanut butter. A little goes a long way!
How to Make Silken Tofu Peanut Butter Mousse
- Prepare the chocolate ganache. Before getting started on the peanut butter mousse, click over to our Vegan Chocolate Ganache recipe and make 1 batch of the recipe. Set aside to cool.
- Make the mousse. Add the silken tofu, peanut butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a large cup food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Taste and add additional powdered sugar if you want a sweeter mousse.
- Assemble. Divide the mousse between the ramekins, then top each off with a layer of chocolate ganache.
- Refrigerate. Once assembled, transfer the peanut butter mousse to the refrigerator and let the mousse set and firm up for at least 1 hour.
- Serve. When ready, top the mousse with a sprinkle of flaky salt and enjoy!
