With International Women’s Day just a week away why not start thinking about how to make something for the favourite women in your life - including yourself!!
Eating sweet things doesn’t have to be a guilty secret - being creative with ingredients and making food that inspires us to be healthy is exciting.
My mantra is always to make food that is Simple, Delicious, Nutritious .
In general I don’t want to spend hours cooking fancy puddings, and I don’t want to eat low quality food. But I want every mouthful to have some nutritional benefit and this mousse is no exception to that.
Silken tofu is a secret ingredient I use regularly and is a game changer in the kitchen. It is creamy, protein-packed, and contains phytoestrogens—natural plant compounds that help support hormonal balance. 🌿
That’s why this is the perfect dessert, treat, after dinner spoonful delight for all women out there.
Watch reel, save and forward to the best women in your life.
300g Silken tofu (I like @clearspringuk )
100g dark chocolate melted
1 tbsp matcha tea powder (if you don’t have this, you could use cocoa or cacao powder - all high in antioxidants)
Drizzle of extra virgin olive (my current favourite comes from @citizensofsoil)
Sea salt flakes if you like that (good quality, high in minerals)
SILKEN TOFU: here are all the reasons I use Silken tofu in my cooking and why if you don’t, you should:
🥄 Creamy & Neutral – mild flavor and silky texture, perfect for blending without overpowering other ingredients.
💪 Protein-Packed & Nutrient-Dense – A fantastic plant-based protein source with calcium, iron, and amino acids to support muscle and bone health.
💛 Supports Oestrogen Levels – Phytoestrogens gently mimic oestrogen in the body, supporting you during menopause
🧠 Brain & Bone Health – compounds linked to improved cognitive function and bone density as we age.
💪 Plant-Powered Wellness – Unlike processed soy, minimally processed tofu provides a clean, whole-food source of isoflavones, supporting overall well-being.
🌿 Dairy-Free & Gut-Friendly – Ideal for those avoiding dairy. Easy to digest.
