When that chocolate craving hits, it’s easy to reach for something sugary and processed. But with this simple recipe, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with nourishing, nutrient-rich ingredients.

Why we love it:

• Protein boost: Silken tofu is packed with plant-based protein and contains all nine essential amino acids, making this dessert more sustaining than your average mousse.
• Antioxidant-rich: Dark chocolate is loaded with polyphenols that act as powerful antioxidants.
• Low in sugar: Made with dark chocolate and a touch of honey, this indulgent dessert is low on sugar but rich in flavour.

 

Ingredients:

300g silken tofu

100g dark chocolate, melted (85% cocoa is a great, lower sugar option)

2 heaped tbsp honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

 

Method:

Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender.

Blitz until silky smooth.

Enjoy straight away as a pudding, or refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set into a mousse.

 

BePure tip: Top with fresh berries or a sprinkle of cacao nibs for extra antioxidants and crunch. Yum!
