How to Make Vegan Peanut Butter Mousse

To prepare this delicious peanut butter mousse, gather the following ingredients and follow the simple steps below.

Ingredients:

• 350 grams silken tofu
• 3-4 tbsp smooth peanut butter (to taste)
• 3-4 tbsp agave syrup (you can also use maple syrup or powdered sugar to sweeten) (to taste)
• 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 100 grams 70% dark chocolate (chips or broken pieces)
• 400g tin full-fat coconut milk

Directions:

1. Begin by adding the silken tofu, peanut butter, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt to a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste your mixture and adjust the sweetness or peanut butter if needed.
2. Spoon the creamy mixture into ramekins or jars. Cover them and place in the fridge while you make the ganache.
3. Melt the dark chocolate using a microwave or a double boiler (Bain Marie). Once melted, mix in the creamy part of the coconut milk. It’s okay if a little liquid from the coconut milk gets in; we mostly want the cream.
4. Pour the chocolate ganache over the peanut butter mousse and let them set in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
5. Serve and enjoy your delicious dessert!
