Try it - you will NEVER know!

If you love dark chocolate or just chocolate you will LOVE this. Plus it is so easy to make and you will never know. I tested out John and Matthew and they had NO CLUE it was made with Tofu. Matthew couldn't get enough of it. To make it even more special add fat free whipped cream!

Tofu Mousse

Makes 4 servings

One package silken tofu (don't get the firm stuff)
2 tsp. pure vanilla
12 oz. semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate (chips or bars) (I used semi-sweet)
-
In a bowl of a food processor, puree tofu until completely smooth. Add vanilla, scraping the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is combined. In the microwave, melt chocolate, stirring every 30 seconds to make sure it doesn't scorch. Add melted chocolate to tofu mixture and process until smooth and thick. Divide mousse into four ramekins and allow to set in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Tofu mousse is one of those recipes. Tofu mousse? Yep, tofu. Not only can you not tell that the base is made out of silken tofu, rather than eggs and cream, but the best thing about it is the texture. I think the texture is even better than the real thing -- it is lighter and fluffier.
Besides being low in fat, the recipe has no added sugar, and if you use bittersweet chocolate, there will be even less actual sugar in your mousse.
