This rich and silky dessert or snack is made with just three simple ingredients - silken tofu, chocolate buttons, and maple syrup - blended to perfection in the Thermomix. But there's a bit of an art to getting it perfectly smooth and creamy - lucky I've mastered it, so all you've got to do is follow the recipe! With a generous dose of protein from the tofu and minimal carbs, this recipe is ideal for those following a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle and those wanting higher protein, more satisfying snacks. I love setting this mousse in my mini silicone pots with lids so I can grab a pot when the 3pm slump hits and it really hits the spot (without the sugar rollercoaster!). Also great for lunchboxes and on-to-go protein treats. And trust me, don't tell anyone there's tofu in it and they truly will never know!
