Introduction

This Tofu Matcha White Chocolate Mousse is a light and creamy dessert that combines the delicate earthiness of matcha with the sweetness of white chocolate. Ready in just 10 minutes and perfect for a quick treat, it offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

Two clear glass cups each hold one layer of smooth light green mousse, filling the glasses almost to the top. On each mousse layer sits a dollop of white cream with one halved red strawberry and two small dark blue blueberries placed on top. The mousse glasses rest on a wooden cutting board that has a warm brown tone, and around the board on a white marbled surface are whole and halved strawberries, blueberries, and a few white chocolate chips scattered. Two decorative silver spoons lie next to the cups on the cutting board. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

12 oz silken tofu
6 oz white chocolate
1 tbsp matcha powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Greek or coconut yogurt, for topping
Berries, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the white chocolate gently in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
Step 2: In a blender, combine the silken tofu, melted white chocolate, matcha powder, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Pour the mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls.
Step 4: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set and chill thoroughly.
Step 5: Before serving, top with a dollop of Greek or coconut yogurt and fresh berries for added flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

Use high-quality white chocolate for a richer flavor and smoother texture.
Adjust matcha powder to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder green tea flavor.
Try garnishing with toasted nuts or a sprinkle of cocoa nibs for extra crunch.
For a vegan option, ensure the white chocolate and yogurt are dairy-free.

Storage

Store the mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir gently before serving if the texture separates slightly. It’s best enjoyed chilled, but you can let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for a softer texture.

How to Serve

Two clear glass cups filled with three layers: a dense pale green creamy base, topped with a layer of white whipped cream, and decorated with a halved bright red strawberry and two dark blue blueberries on each cup. The cups sit side by side on a wooden board placed on a white marbled surface. Around the board, there are scattered fresh whole strawberries and blueberries, along with a few white chocolate chips. Two vintage silver spoons rest on the wooden board near the cups. In the background, soft white fabric adds a gentle texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular tofu instead of silken tofu?

Silken tofu is best for this mousse as it creates a smooth and creamy texture. Regular tofu is firmer and won’t blend as smoothly, affecting the mousse’s consistency.

How can I melt white chocolate without burning it?

Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. This gentle heat prevents scorching and helps the chocolate melt evenly.
