Recipe: Hormone-Loving Dark Chocolate & Tofu Mousse

Hormone-Loving Dark Chocolate & Tofu Mousse

This creamy, dreamy dessert isn’t just a treat—it’s a wellbeing powerhouse, especially for women! Silken tofu and dark chocolate come together to create a luscious mousse that supports hormonal balance, heart health, and happy taste buds. Here’s why it’s a win-win:

🌱 Silken Tofu:

Rich in phytoestrogens: These plant compounds gently mimic estrogen, helping to balance female hormone levels—ideal for menstrual cycles, perimenopause, or menopause.

Protein-packed: Supports muscle repair and keeps energy steady.

Bone-friendly: High in calcium and magnesium, essential for strong bones and a calm nervous system.

🍫 Dark Chocolate (70%+):

Heart-healthy flavonoids: Boost circulation and may lower blood pressure.

Mood & hormone helper: Magnesium and antioxidants ease stress and support hormonal harmony.

Craving crusader: Satisfies sweet tooths without refined sugar spikes.

Together, these ingredients create a decadent, hormone-loving dessert that’s as kind to your body as it is delicious!

📝 Recipe: Hormone-Loving Dark Chocolate & Tofu Mousse

Serves 4

Ingredients:

300g silken tofu (drained, not firm)

100g dark chocolate (70% or higher)

Instructions:

1. Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, or place a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water (ensure the bowl doesn’t touch the water) and stir until smooth.

2. Blend the tofu: Drain the silken tofu and add it to a blender. Whip until completely smooth.

3. Combine: Pour the molten chocolate into the blender with the tofu and blend again until silky and well combined.

4. Set & chill: Spoon the mixture into shot glasses, egg cups, or ramekins. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set (or overnight for a firmer texture).

   
   

Serve: Enjoy as is, or top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa nibs, or a drizzle of almond butter for extra nourishment.

💡 Tip: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of peppermint extract for a flavor twist—and even more hormone-balancing benefits!
