  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract Vanilla essence works in a pinch.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine the silken tofu, smooth peanut butter, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Spoon the mousse into ramekins or small jars, filling them three-quarters full. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted (1-2 minutes). Stir in the top layer of chilled coconut milk until glossy.
  4. Pour the chocolate ganache over each ramekin of mousse. Let it set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  5. Serve chilled and top with crushed nuts or coconut flakes if desired.
