Ingredients for Tofu Chocolate Mousse

Tofu. Silken for its soft and smooth texture, to make the mousse velvety.
Chocolate. You can choose dark or milk chocolate, I’ll leave that up to you.
Sugar. About 2 tablespoons to enhance the sweetness of the chocolate.
Honey. 1 tablespoon to enhance the sweetness of the chocolate.
Cayenne pepper. To add a little heat to the mousse. I love the combination of chocolate and chilis!
Whipped cream. To make it more decadent but totally optional.
Cinnamon powder. The sweet aroma of cinnamon in puddings is unbeatable. A sprinkle of it should be plenty.

Other topping ideas

You can top this tofu chocolate mousse with chopped pecans or walnuts, fresh strawberries, bananas, or a drizzle of caramel.

Blend the tofu.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water.

Pour the mixture into cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Top with ingredients of your choice and serve.

Health Benefits of Tofu

This is a great way to incorporate tofu into your diet if you aren’t too fond of the taste but want the health benefits. It’s a powerful anti-aging food (fights off free radicals) that also strengthens bones and lowers bad cholesterol.

And for those suffering from menopause symptoms, tofu is known to greatly help in reducing them. In fact, most Japanese women will go through the menopausal stage feeling little change.
