Mocha Mousse

So this mousse is a good option for the lactose intolerant... It uses tofu and greek yogurt (seems like all my lactose intolerant friends are able to eat greek yogurt... no clue why!)


The recipe calls for silken tofu... I just found out there is such thing as chocolate silken tofu??? I'm totally using that the next time I make this!



Although this was pretty good, I felt like it still had a little tofu undertone to it... next time I'm also going to add some kind of liquor... maybe amaretto? Or Kahlua?? YUM That should fix the problem :D



The- Best- For- Last Chocolate Mousse
recipe from Prevention
12 ounces soft silken tofu, drained (trying chocolate silken tofu next time)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup fat-free greek-style yogurt
(adding some kind of liquor next time too...)

Directions
Place the tofu, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the chocolate and blend for 1 minute. Scrape the sides with a rubber spatula and blend for 1 minute longer or until incorporated. Pour into a large bowl.
Fold in the yogurt just until blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
