Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

• 4.5 ounces dark chocolate (chopped)
• 12 ounces silken tofu
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp instant coffee granules ((or 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder))
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt the dark chocolate. Add the chopped dark chocolate to a double boiler. Melt the chocolate over medium heat. Remove from the heat as soon as the chocolate is melted. You don’t want to overheat it. Set aside.

2. 2

   Blend the tofu. Add the silken tofu, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, instant coffee, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.

3. 3

   Add the chocolate. Then, pour the melted dark chocolate into the blender. Blend on high speed for 15-20 seconds or until completely smooth. At this point, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness and saltiness to your liking. Note: The mousse will still taste a bit of tofu - it's normal. The flavor will disappear after a night in the refrigerator.

4. 4

   Transfer to ramekins. Finally, divide the mousse between ramekins and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

5. 5

   You can store the mousse in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
