Chocolate Tofu Mousse Recipe

Serves 6.

This has got to be one of the easiest - but most rewarding - treats ever made.

Ingredients:

• 1 package of silken tofu (~12 oz)
• 10 oz chocolate chips, about one small package. Many dark chocolate chips are vegan; check the ingredients though if this is a concern.
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract; optional.

Directions:

1. Blend tofu (preferably at room temperature) in food processor, blender, or with hand mixer until just smooth.
2. In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips with a tablespoon or two of water over low heat. Stir constantly.
3. Add maple syrup to melted chocolate and combine.
4. Put chocolate & syrup blend into processor and mix with tofu until creamy.
5. Pour into very small serving dishes - this stuff is rich. Serve warm or chill until set.

Serving options:

• Fold in a half-cup of non-dairy whipped topping at the end
• Garnish with cut fruits
• Pour mixture into a vegan graham cracker crust and chill until set
• Use as a dip for fruit and graham crackers
• Use as icing for cake or cookies
