Ingredients

  • 1 3 oz high quality dark chocolate bar, broken into pieces
  • 1 12.3 oz package shelf-stable firm silken tofu (like Mori-Nu), cut into large chunks
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp agave nectar maple syrup, or honey (if you're not vegan)
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • zest from 1 whole orange

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place chocolate bar pieces in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 20 second intervals until melted (stirring after each interval). You can use a double-boiler instead if you prefer.
  2. Combine tofu and orange juice in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and process until well-combined. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Cook time is the hour needed to chill the mousse before serving. There's no actual cooking involved.
