Which chocolate mousse can claim to be low in cholesterol, lactose-free and rich in fibre? Exactly, this airy chocolate dessert! It is not made with egg yolk and cream, but with tofu and beaten egg white. Even so, this dessert is a balm for the soul and also supports the function of bile, liver and stomach.

If you like the combination of chocolate and fruit, refine the mousse with fresh berries. This not only makes it taste more fruity, but also contains additional vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances.

For pure vegan enjoyment, the beaten egg whites can also be made from the water of a chickpea jar and some tartaric baking powder. However, beating the egg whites takes a little longer: you should allow about 15 minutes for this process.
