Dark Chocolate Mousse
, 2005, Ellie Krieger, All rights reserved

Ingredients
1 (12.3-ounce) package silken tofu, drained
3 ounces high quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon brandy
1/2 cup plus 1/2 teaspoon superfine sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 teaspoons shaved chocolate

Directions
In a blender or food processor, puree the tofu until

it is smooth.

Put the chopped chocolate, cocoa powder, 1/4 cup water and brandy in a saucepan or
heat-proof bowl fitted over a pot containing 1-inch barely simmering water. Stir
frequently, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Mix in 1/2 cup of sugar, a
little at a time, until smooth.

Add the chocolate mixture to the tofu and puree until smooth and well blended.
Spoon the mousse into serving dishes, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Whip the cream with a beater. When the cream is almost completely whipped, add the
remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and finish whipping. Top each serving with a
dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings and serve.

Yield: 5 servings (serving size 1/2 cup of mousse, 1 tablespoon whipped cream and

1/4 teaspoon shaved chocolate)
