Here we are again, Amici del Web, always on time to offer you delicious and inviting recipes. Today I thought of our vegan friends and their relative difficulty in finding desserts without animal-derived ingredients, such as eggs and milk. And then my goal is to show you that "vegan diet" is not only synonymous with "healthy" "And" respect for animals ", but a vegan diet also means eating well and with taste, and the vegan chocolate mousse that I suggest today represents concrete proof of this.

Ingrediants
For the mousse
- 160 g of tofu
- 250 ml of soy milk
- 100 g of dark chocolate
- 6 g of agar agar
- 25 g of fructose
To decorate (optional)
- grated rind of untreated lemon
- a couple of teaspoons in chocolate
Materials Needed
- 2 saucepans for the bain marie
- 1 saucepan to dissolve the agar agar
- 1 wooden ladle
- Cups for serving
- Food thermometer
- 1 whip
Preparation
- First prepare the water bath by adding a little water to a deep saucepan. Cover with a smaller pot and add the dark chocolate reduced to small pieces and a little soy milk to facilitate melting.
Alternatively
Those who do not particularly like to melt dark chocolate in a bain-marie can use the microwave oven, but be careful that the mixture does not burn. For this purpose, it is recommended to mix the mixture a couple of times, at intervals of about 30 seconds.- Meanwhile, pour the remaining soy milk into another saucepan until it reaches a temperature of 80 ° C. At this point, lower the heat and pour in the agar agar powder, stirring quickly with the whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
- When the dark chocolate has melted and perfectly blended with the soy milk, add the agar agar, which in the meantime has dissolved in the soy milk.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly for a few minutes.
- Next, add the soft tofu (we recommend watching the homemade tofu video) and mix everything well with the whisk.
- Arrange the mousse obtained on ice cream cups or elegant glasses.
- Decorate as desired with lemon zest curls.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
An excellent dessert, delicate and low-calorie, therefore suitable both for vegans (because it has no ingredients of animal origin), and for those who follow a low-calorie diet and want to indulge in a small moment of sweet pleasure.Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
The vegan chocolate mousse is a spoon dessert WITHOUT food of animal origin. Thanks to this characteristic, the dish "should" be FREE of cholesterol and very low in saturated fat; in reality, as often happens, industrially produced foods contain ingredients whose presence is not suspected. In this case, traces of cholesterol emerge in the dark chocolate (which should be purely vegetable). Vegan chocolate mousse is a fairly caloric dessert, therefore it is recommended to consume it sporadically and not systematically.
