Pro Tips & Meal Prep Ideas for chocolate mousse recipe without eggs

If you want to microwave your chocolate chips, microwave on high while stirring every 30 seconds until smooth (about 2 minutes).
You can use milk or dark chocolate vegan chips for this recipe, whatever you have on hand.
If you have any berry compote leftover, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
If you have time and want to get fancy, you can use a piping bag or a Ziploc bag snipping the corner to create a tip to pipe the mousse.
To avoid your chocolate seizing up, getting stiff or even oily, be sure to stir after each 30 second increment if microwaving. If using the double boiler method, assure the water is just at a simmer not boiling, and the base of the bowl is not touching the water. Once most of the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat, and stir until all the chocolate has melted and the texture is smooth.
Be sure to strain the extra fluid from the silken tofu, no pressure needed, just use a strainer.
If you happen to be fresh out of silken tofu for this one, an alternative would be to use the same quantity of avocado.
