Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
(Preparation 5 minutes, chilling time 2 to 3 hours)
12-ounce package of silken tofu (soft variety)
2 cups dairy-free chocolate chips
1/2 cup cashew nut butter (other nut butters can be substituted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Fresh mint, raspberries or strawberries, for garnish
Directions
In a food processor, combine the tofu, cashew nut butter, vanilla and cocoa powder and puree until smooth. The mixture should have the consistency of a thick batter.
Bring a double boiler to a gentle simmer and slowly melt the chocolate chips. Add the chocolate to the mixture in the food processor and puree until smooth. The mixture should be thick, like pudding.
Pour the mixture into a bowl and chill for 2 to 3 hours. Before serving, put the mousse back in the food processor and pulse for about 1 minute until smooth. Serve garnished with fresh mint, raspberries or strawberries, as desired. Makes 4 servings.
