Preparation
- Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Gently drain any excess water from the silken tofu.

- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Notes
For best results, make sure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth before adding to the blender. Chilling overnight will yield the firmest mousse. Vary the sweetness to your preference by adjusting the amount of maple syrup.
