Mock Chocolate Mousse

This chocolate mousse is delicious and so easy to make.  Did I mention it’s made with tofu? I recommend this recipe as a great gateway into the world of tofu.  If you make this for your friends or family I guarantee you they will not know that they are eating tofu.  It’s creamy, chocolaty and full of healthy protein.    I warn you in advance,  you may be tempted to eat the whole thing at once, although it’s healthy it still has calories.  Portion control is key here.

*You will need a blender for this recipe.

Ingredients:

1  14-oz pkg silken tofu

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/3 cup strong coffee or espresso

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 Tbsp honey or agave nectar (vegan version)

Makes 5-6 servings

 

Directions: 

1.  Melt chocolate and coffee in a double boiler.  Stir continuously.  Once the chocolate is melted, add vanilla.

2.  Drain tofu and place in blender.  Add chocolate mixture and honey, or agave, and blend until smooth.

3.  If the mixture is too thick you can add some soy or skim milk.

4. Pour into small ramekins and chill for at least 2 hrs.

5.  Before serving, dust with chocolate powder or sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
