Vegan Chocolate & Banana Mousse
If a delicate and silky smooth vegan chocolate mousse is what you’re after, then look no further. This easy to make recipe will deliver a tasty and guilt free treat.
This simple but luscious dessert (or breakfast) is made from tofu, banana and cocoa powder and is light and low calorie. Who doesn’t love a decadent breakfast at only 280 calories?
If you don’t have Agave Nectar you can substitute for Maple Syrup, however maple generally isn’t as sweet so you may need a little more.
It’s important you get nice ripe sweet tasting bananas too. I have made this before with slightly under ripe bananas and it hasn’t been as smooth or as tasty.
I topped the vegan chocolate mousse with mixed berries but you could go with sliced banana, crunch granola or even broken up Oreos. The sky is the limit with accompaniments for this dessert.
I like to set it in individual glasses or bowls so that it doesn’t get disturbed before serving. It’s also not quite as firm as maybe a traditional chocolate mousse so it’s best to have it portioned out before serving to your dinner party guests. It’s not that the mousse is runny, but it’s definitely not as firm as you may expect.
I hope you enjoy this vegan chocolate mousse as much as I did. Let me know in the comments how it turned out for you.
