Valentine's Day Recipe: Decadent Chocolate Mousse

Whether you want to make a big day out of Valentine's Day or you just want to stay home and cosy up in front of the telly, you can enjoy this super luscious and creamy chocolate mousse with your loved one, a friend, or just by yourself (one can never enjoy too much chocolate!). It is easy and affordable to make; all you need is a blender and the following ingredients.

Check out our video to see exactly how to make this chocolate mousse:



Ingredients: (serves two people)
200g firm tofu
100g dark dairy-free chocolate
2-3 tbsp soya cream
2-3 tbsp sweetener: agave syrup, maple syrup, brown sugar, etc.
coconut cream to serve

Instructions:
Melt the chocolate with the soya cream over low heat until they are smooth. Pour this into the blender, adding the tofu chunks and the sweetener. Blend in stages; you will need to stop the blender every 15-20 seconds to stir around the mixture with a spoon so you can get all the bits from the side of the bowl near the blades, as the mousse will be slightly thick for the blender to process. Serve when you are happy with the consistency.
Chill in the fridge for half an hour if you like, or serve as is with whipped coconut cream, fruits, chocolate sprinkles, dairy-free ice cream, etc.

These ingredients are available in any UK supermarket. We found the dairy-free chocolate in the Free From section in Morrison's; the soya cream and the coconut cream are from Morrison's as well. The tofu was purchased in Tesco Metro, as well as the sweetener.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! <3
