Dark Chocolate Mousse *Vegan*

Ok, so I am not Vegan but i do like to find vegan recipe and look at get healthier products into desserts etc to make it as tasty and nutritious as possible. I have always been a little sceptical about "vegan" mousse as ones with Aquafaba have never turned out well for me, however i decided to give this one a go with the use of Tofu, and i have to admit i have been pleasantly surprised!

• 125g 80Noir Ultra dark chocolate beads
• 300g silken tofu
