Chocolate Mousse

Serves 4

Vegan, dairy free

printable recipe

Ingredients:

2/3 c. dairy free chocolate chips

1 T. water

Mori-Nu Soft Silk Tofu

½ t. almond or vanilla extract

2-4 T. powdered sugar (start w/ 2 T., add more for your taste)

Directions:

1. Place a wire mesh strainer over a small bowl. Line it with a coffee filter. Put the tofu on top of the coffee filter. Break up the tofu to fit in the strainer. Place a bowl on top of the tofu, then weight the bowl with a small can. Allow to sit for about 15 minutes to press out the excess water.

2. Place the chocolate chips in a microwave dish with 1 T. water. Microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted.

3. Add the tofu, melted chocolate, almond or vanilla extract and 2 T. powder sugar to a small food processor. Scrap the sides at least once. Puree until creamy and smooth.

4. Spoon into serving bowls, chill at least 2-3 hours. The longer you chill this the better the flavor will be. Tofu absorbs flavors so give it time for the chocolate and tofu to mingle.

I used this mousse as one of the fillings in Valentine's Day Dessert Towers.
