Dairy-Free Chocolate Mousse

A French chef would never believe that you can make a luscious, silky smooth chocolate mousse without some cream or milk! I didn't believe it myself, until I tried it. The secret is to use silken tofu, a product you can find in the dry storage area or ethnic foods aisle of your grocery store.  A great protein source, silken tofu not only provides you with more protein than cream, but a silky smooth body for your chocolate mousse. I encourage you to try this recipe and see if your children or friends know the difference! 

Ingredients Serves 4 dessert size or 8 taster size

Cooking Directions

1. Melt chocolate and coffee liqueur in a water bath. Then blend all ingredients together. An immersion blender or food processor works best to produce the creamiest texture.
