My mother made this silky pie when I was a child. It was my father's favorite. The fluffy chocolate-almond filling is held in a thin chocolate shell. Be warned, it is so rich that you should only take a sliver.-Jamie Burkhart, Windsor, Missouri

Time 13m

Yield 6 Decadent Servings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup chocolate soymilk
1 (9 ounce) bag semisweet vegan chocolate chips (Tropical Source or Sunspire Brand suggested)
12 ounces silken tofu
1/4 cup Amaretto
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Pour chocolate soy milk into a sml pot & bring to a simmer. Remove from heat & let cool while you melt the choc chips.
  • Melt choc chips in a double boiler - or if you're like me & don't own a double-boiler, make 1 using a sml saucepan set under a big mixing bowl. Put 1-2 in of water in the sml saucepan & bring barely to a simmer. Place the mixing bowl w/choc chips on top of the saucepan & let the heat come up to gently warm the chips while you stir occ till they are completely melted. Remove from heat.
  • Add soy milk & silken tofu to the melted choc chips. Process w/an immersion blender till completely smooth. Stir in the Amaretto & almond extract.
  • Chill in the big bowl (or in individual serving dishes) for at least 1 1/2 hrs (the longer, the better). The pudding will set up nicely as it cools.
  • KID-FRIENDLY OPTION: To make the recipe entirely kid-friendly, omit Amaretto & sub an = amt of choc soy milk, so you'd use 3/4 cup soy milk total. :-).

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the eggs and cream, for a smooth and well-emulsified mousse.
  • Use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for an intense chocolate flavor.
  • If you don't have a hand mixer, you can whisk the egg yolks and sugar over a saucepan of simmering water (not boiling) until the mixture thickens and is pale yellow.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently and slowly to maintain its airiness.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the mousse with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch of decadence.

Conclusion:

This amaretto chocolate mousse is a delightful dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and amaretto in a light and airy mousse. With its smooth and creamy texture, intense chocolate flavor, and hint of almond from the amaretto, this mousse is sure to impress any chocolate lover. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just as a sweet treat, this mousse is sure to be a hit.
