Chocolate mousse 1/7

Chocolate mousse

Just like your morning coffee, it is possible to have chocolate mousse without milk and cream. With some organic silky tofu, you can make a decadent milk-free and egg-free mousse. To make it, melt 7 ounces dark chocolate in a double boiler, add 1 1/2 cups silky tofu, and mix with a whisk or a hand blender. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. Tip: Be sure to choose the right tofu (silky not firm).
