Ingredients
Scale
Mousse Ingredients
- 350 grams silken tofu
- 3–4 tbsp smooth peanut butter (to taste)
- 3–4 tbsp agave syrup (or maple syrup or powdered sugar, to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
- 1 pinch salt
Ganache Ingredients
- 100 grams 70% dark chocolate (chips or chopped)
- 400 grams tin full fat coconut milk (use mainly the creamy part)
Instructions
- Blend the mousse: Add the silken tofu, smooth peanut butter, agave or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend everything until perfectly smooth and creamy. Taste the mousse mixture and adjust sweetness or peanut butter amount to your preference.
- Chill the mousse: Spoon the blended peanut butter mousse into ramekins or jars. Cover them and place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the ganache.
- Prepare the ganache: Melt the dark chocolate gently in the microwave in short bursts or use a double boiler (Bain Marie) to prevent burning. Once melted, add the thick, creamy part of the coconut milk to the chocolate and whisk vigorously until smooth and glossy. A little coconut milk liquid may mix in, which is okay since the focus is on the cream.
- Assemble and set: Pour the chocolate coconut cream ganache evenly over the chilled peanut butter mousse. Return the mousse to the fridge and let it set for at least 1 hour to firm up beautifully.
- Serve and enjoy: After the ganache has set, serve the vegan peanut butter mousse chilled. Enjoy this rich, dairy-free, and vegan dessert as a perfect ending to any meal.
Notes
- You can substitute agave syrup with maple syrup or powdered sugar for sweetness based on preference.
- Use the creamy top layer of the coconut milk tin for a rich ganache; some liquid mixing in is fine.
- Adjust peanut butter and sweetener quantities to balance flavor to your liking.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in a sealed container.
- For a firmer mousse, chill for longer before adding ganache.
