If you like Reeses Cups, then you’re going to be obsessed with this incredibly creamy and decadent (but vegan!) Peanut Butter Mousse. It’s topped with a rich, 2 ingredient chocolate ganache which compliments the mousse perfectly. Not only does it taste incredible, it also happens to be a great source of vegan protein, as the base of the mousse is made with silken tofu!
Vegan Peanut Butter Mousse (with a Chocolate Ganache!)
If you like Reeses Cups, then you're going to be obsessed with this incredibly creamy and decadent (but vegan!) Peanut Butter Mousse.
Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Mousse
- 350 grams silken tofu
- 3-4 tbsp smooth peanut butter to taste
- 3-4 tbsp agave syrup (you can also use maple syrup or powdered sugar to sweeten) to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
- 1 pinch salt
For the Chocolate Ganache
- 100 grams 70% dark chocolate chips (or broken or chopped)
- 400g tin full fat coconut milk only the creamy part at the top (leave in your fridge for an hour then scoop out the creamy part that has solidified at the top)
Instructions
- Add the silken tofu, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and pinch salt to a blender and blend until smooth – taste test and add any more of the ingredients to your preference.
- Spoon into ramekins or jars. Cover and place in the fridge while you make the ganache.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler/Bain Marie. Once melted, add the creamy part of the coconut milk and whisk together (don't worry if some of the coconut milk liquid gets in there too, we want mainly the cream but some of the liquid is fine!)
- Pour the ganache over the peanut butter mousse and let them set in the fridge for 1 hour. Serve and enjoy!

Thank you for this recipe! I loved it!
SO good and deliciously creamy! Easy to make and a nice way to use up extra tofu in the fridge
Delicious and the ganache is just like ganache 🤣. Thank you
Can I use a can of Coconut cream?
Yes!
I’m waiting for the chocolate to set but wow! The mousse is fantastic. Thank you.
Amazing, hope you enjoyed x
This was the recipe, and your Reel, that convinced me to try tofu as a dessert! It was a great success! Thank you, so much!
Amazing! Instead of making the chocolate topping I just added in melted dark chocolate. This recipe is excellent and I highly recommend trying it if you’re curious.
This was my first time trying out silken tofu. I was a bit skeptical after blending it (on its own) as it smelled a bit like mayonnaise. The whole recipe was actually delicious, the peanut butter does cover the taste without any problem. It was very filling!
So happy you liked it, it’s one of my favourites x
This was awesome! I sprinkled a little salt on top of the chocolate.
Thank you for sharing!
I love this pb mousse. I had one issue with the ganache. It did not turn out creamy like your photo. Can you tell me a measurement for the coconut cream please. Oddly, my coconut milk top did not solidify so I just tried to spoon out the creamy top. I don’t know if I used too little. Either way the mousse is delicious and I will definitely make again.
Sorry about that! You will need to use more of the coconut cream. Have you tried placing a can of coconut milk in your fridge for a couple of hours? This will cause the cream to solidify at the top. You can also buy small tins of coconut cream. x
I made this recipe!
Amazingly delicious!
Can you use something else instead of the peanut butter?
Any nut or seed butter x
This was a delicious recipe, thank you! It was simple and fast to prepare. I’d be curious to see the nutrition facts for this. Also, it seems the number of servings is understated, we got 6 servings out of this.
This looks incredible! Do you have any soy substitution suggestions? I love the added protein, but can’t do soy. TY!
I think this would be great if I used a different tofu. My silken tofu was just too wet and made this super thin. I added my coconut cream to it in hopes that it would thicken it up, but no luck. However, I threw some chia seed in there and it turned into a lovely peanut butter chia pudding. Next time I will try a different brand of tofu to see if it’s a little thicker. The taste was great though, my experience was either brand or user error!
Amazing loved it!
So quick and easy, and delicious to boot!
So delicious and also easy to make! Thank you!
Loved it! Thank you for this delicious recipe!
10/10!!! Absolutely decadent. I’m a peanut butter freak so added some extra PB. A love a protein dessert. Thanks for the recipe!
Delicious! I used the same quantities but smaller ramekins and obtained 6 good-sized portions, perfect as afternoon snack or after a meal as dessert. Really loved the recipe! 🙂
