Chocolate Mousse

A lovely dessert for all occasions, chocolate mousse makes passing good vice cream when frozen, too.

You guessed it--no pictures! Just cats.


Chocolate Mousse

12.3 ounces silken tofu (firm or soft doesn’t matter)

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted, OR 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup agave nectar, maple syrup, or sugar (or to taste)

Blend the tofu in a blender or food processor until no chunks remain.  Add the remaining ingredients.  If you’re using warm melted chocolate, do not blend with the lid on; hold a towel over the hole in the top of the blender to let the steam escape.  Chill until ready to serve. 

This makes good cupcake/pizzelle filling, pie filling, pudding in general, Tiramisu goo, and it freezes well.  It’s not proper icing since it is wet and will run all over your baked goods.
