Ingredients
- 200g Silken Tofu (well drained)
- 1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (smooth and creamy)
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2–3 tablespoons Non-Dairy Milk (such as almond or soy milk)
- Pinch of Salt
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and drain the silken tofu thoroughly to remove excess water for a thicker mousse.
- Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, natural peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, non-dairy milk, and salt.
- Achieve the Perfect Texture: Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and fluffy, usually about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed to get everything well combined.
- Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse to serving bowls or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set and develop fuller flavors.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, garnish with your favorite toppings such as toasted chopped peanuts, melted vegan chocolate, or fresh raspberries and dive into this luscious Vegan Peanut Butter Mousse!
Notes
- Use cold ingredients: chilling the tofu and non-dairy milk beforehand helps create a firmer mousse.
- Choose creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture.
- Don’t skip the chill time; refrigeration thickens the mousse and melds flavors.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity to match your preferred sweetness.
- Experiment with toppings like fresh berries, crushed nuts, or vegan chocolate shavings to elevate flavor and presentation.
