Minted Chocolate Tofu Mousse
I love the combination of mint and chocolate. If you don't, you can substitute orange zest or Rum extract for the mint.
10 oz. (1-1/4 c.) organic Silken Tofu
1 c. Dark Chocolate, in pieces (I used 75% dark)
1/4 c. organic raw Cocoa powder
1/4 c. Green tea or Water
1 Tbs. Almond extract
1/2 c. Birch Xylitol or 4-5 packets Stevia
1/4 c. fresh organic Mint leaves, chopped ( or 1 tsp. dry mint)
Place chocolate, cocoa, water, extract and sweetener in pot over medium-low heat (or in a double-boiler over simmering water). Stir until chocolate pieces melt and mixture is blended.
Remove from heat.
In a food processor, whip tofu until smooth.
Add chocolate mixture and process until shiny and well blended. Add mint leaves and pulse 4 - 5 times just until mixed.
Scoop into dessert cups or bowl. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Your mousse will be thick, rich and oh-so-good! Sprinkle additional chopped mint on top for garnish.
