Directions
- In a small saucepan, bring 3⁄4 cup of water to a boil.
- Take water off heat and drop tea bag in. Cover saucepan with lid and leave to steep for 6 to 10 minutes. The longer the tea steeps, the more Earl Grey flavor you will have; 8 minutes will produce a subtle yet noticeable flavor. Remove tea bag and bring pot to a simmer again. Once again remove from heat, add maple syrup and chocolate, and stir to melt chocolate.
- Transfer chocolate mixture to a high-speed blender. Add vanilla, salt, and tofu. Purée until completely smooth, stopping to scrape sides of blender with a rubber spatula as needed to fully incorporate.
- Divide mixture evenly among six ramekins and chill for at least 4 hours.
- When serving, top mousse with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if using.
Notes
- It’s incredible how silken tofu will whip up in seconds and so closely mimics the cream and eggs used in a traditional mousse. No one will ever believe there is tofu in their chocolate mousse.
- The Earl Grey tea provides a subtle floral note. Finish these with a bit of store-bought coconut whipped cream (which is also vegan).
