This rich and decadent Healthy Peanut Butter Mousse recipe is secretly guilt free, sugar free, low carb, high protein, gluten free, dairy free, AND vegan!
Ingredients
- one 14oz container Organic Extra Firm Tofu
- 1¾ cups Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp Liquid Stevia Extract
- 330g (2¾ cups) Peanut Flour
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
Rinse and drain the block of tofu. Cut it in four pieces and place on paper towels.Press out as much liquid as possible.
Add all the ingredients to a large blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl when necessary.
Give it a taste and add more stevia or salt to taste. Be sure to puree the mixture as much as possible, you don't lose anything by overblending but you sacrifice texture and flavor by underblending!
Pour into serving bowls and serve immediately. If not serving right away, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Top the mousse with chopped, salted peanuts and some mini dark chocolate chips if you're feeling extra indulgent!

All I can say is… WOW WHAT THE HECK OH MY GOODNESS THE DIFFERENCE IS CRAZY CAN YOU BELIEVE IT BECAUSE I SURE CAN’T AHHHH IS THIS FOR REAL BECAUSE IF IT IS LIFE IS AWESOME. Okay, I took a breath. But seriously? Seriously?? For the same amount of mousse, my recipe has:
- halfthe calories
- 22g less fat
- 12g less saturated fat
- ZERO cholesterol or added sugar
- 20g more protein
When I made this mousse for my family,no one believed it was actually sugar free and high protein (let alonevegan).
My dad said, “There’s no way this is low calorie” *spoons mousse into mouth*
I told him it was. “No, it is, the whole bowl has 180 calories and 25g of protein!”
Dad: Wow, it tastes like it’d be really fatty! *scrapes bowl clean* That was really good… Is there any more left?
He asked for another bowl later that day. And he had some for breakfast the next day too. Oh, and did I mention that my dad doesn’t even like sweets? So ifhe likes it,you will too!
Okay, I’ve heard enough. I’m off to the kitchen to make myself another batch 😉
