Healthy Mocha Mousse
Hi, my name is Jessica, and I’m a coffeeholic… and a chocoholic… with a major sweet tooth. Now that’s what I believe people call a “triple threat.” Thankfully, I can safely indulge in coffee, chocolate, and dessert with this Healthy Mocha Mousse!
This Healthy Mocha Mousse is so thick and rich and chocolatey and sweet and delicious and addicting…
I’m sorry if I’m rambling, but all I can think about is this mousse right now… not proper grammar 😉
One bite of this Healthy Mocha Mousse and you better just say goodbye to your self-control right now. Take it from someone who knows.
And has experienced the severity of the ensuing chocolate hangover.
But you know what the solution is? More chocolate. DUH.
Healthy Mocha Mousse
Ingredients
- one 14oz container Extra Firm Tofu **
- ½ cup Unsweetened Light Coconut Milk (canned)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 105g (¾ cup) Powdered Erythritol (or powdered sweetener of choice)
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ cup + 1 tbs Strong Brewed Coffee
- 5 oz Dark Chocolate (melted; I used 72% cacao)
Instructions
- Drain the package of tofu and place the tofu block on paper towels. Press as much liquid out of the tofu as possible (see the GIF below the recipe box)**
- Place the tofu, coconut milk, vanilla extract, powdered erythritol, and salt in a food processor or high-speed blender. Puree until completely smooth!
- Scrape down the sides of the processor or blender. While blending, pour in the coffee, then the melted chocolate. Blend until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into serving cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Serve the next day with whipped cream, grated chocolate, freshly sliced strawberries, a dusting of cocoa powder, or spoons alone. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Pressing the excess liquid out of the tofu. This is an essential step in order to create a thick mousse that will set!

Pouring the melted chocolate into the food processor.

Top your Chocolate Coffee Mousse with whipped cream and freshly grated dark chocolate, and you are in for a real treat.
Is mousse for breakfast wrong? If so… whoops! 😉
Enjoy!

Indulge − no strings attached!
Hello tomorrow’s breakfast!! I love the step-by-step photos above! 🙂 This looks like the perfect thing to have right before a 10-4 shift…which is exactly what I’ll be doing hahah
Thanks Marina!! I sure hope you mean a 10am-4pm shift, not a 10pm-4am shift (because I’ve done the latter and it makes you feel like a vampire) 😉
WOW! That looks amazing! How did you do those mini videos?
The mini videos are GIFs — you can make them free online or look up a tutorial on how to do it on Photoshop 🙂
Can’t believe this mocha goodness is high in protein! It looks SO fluffy and rich. WANT.
What do you suggest to use if you don’t have an expresso machine for the coffee ? Is there some other coffee you can use ? This sounds really good and I want to try it.
I’m not an espresso aficionado, but I guess you can just buy some espresso from a good quality coffee shop. The espresso I used is of medium strength and I thought it had the perfect amount of coffee flavor. If you want a mousse that’s VERY strong on the coffee, ask for a very bold brew. Hope this helps!
This mousse looks amazing, can’t wait to try it 😉 Just wondering at which step do you add the coffee? I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere. Thanks!
Oh my gosh! Silly me, I forgot it in the instructions *slaps forehead*
Just edited the recipe — you add it before the chocolate 🙂
