Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse


  • Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse

    This mousse is so simple to prepare and so delicious—no one ever guesses that tofu is one of the primary ingredients. Experiment and use any favorite liqueur or spirit in place of the Kahlua: Grand Marnier, Irish Cream, Frangelico, Crème de Menthe, brandy and whiskey are just a few of the sumptuous options.

    1/2 cup sugar
    7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
    2 tablespoons Kahlua (coffee-flavored liqueur)
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Pinch of salt
    2 12.3-ounce packages reduced-fat silken tofu, drained (e.g., Mori-Nu brand)
    3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

    Extra coca powder for sprinkling

    Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, liqueur, vanilla, salt and tofu in a blender or food processor. Process mixture until perfectly smooth.

    Place chopped chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until almost melted; remove from microwave and stir until smooth. Add chocolate to tofu mixture in blender or processor and process until smooth.

    Divide mousse evenly among six 6-ounce ramekins or decorative cups (e.g., cappuccino cups). Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Just before serving, sprinkle tops with cocoa powder. Makes 6 servings.

Cocoa fruit dip

  • COCOA FRUIT DIP


    I didn't measure, so everything here is to taste.


    Smooth nut butter (liquidy is good; I used Trader Joe's almond butter)

    Cocoa powder

    Honey (I got some lovely local, raw honey at the farmer's market)

    Few drops of vanilla

    Milk for thinning (I used almond milk, but cream would be delicious, too.)


    Whisk everything together until it's the consistency of chocolate glaze. Dump into a colorful bowl and use it as a dip for banana chunks, strawberries (any berry), marshmallows, pretzels or anything else that could benefit from a little chocolate.
