Chocolate Mousse (tofu that is fabulous!)

Silken tofu is usually sold in vacuum-packed, shelf-stable containers in the Asian-food section of grocery stores. Unopened, silken tofu will keep at room temperature for up to eight months.

Ingredients

Heavenly Chocolate Mousse

• 3/4 cup chocolate chips, semi sweet if you don't want dairy
• 1 container (12 ounces) room-temperature silken tofu
• 1/2 cup warmed milk

1 tsp vanilla, if desired

1. Microwave chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until melted.
2. In a food processor, puree melted chocolate with silken tofu (soft or firm) and warmed milk (and vanilla) until smooth. Force mixture through a sieve into a medium bowl, pressing with a spoon.
3. Scoop mixture into four serving dishes, and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. Garnish desserts with finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, if desired.

Note- tofu takes on the taste that it is mixed with so the longer this is chilled, the more chocolatey.  It is a winner recipe!  Love serving it with fruit on top...I think it makes a difference.
