Light Chocolate Mousse
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 12 ounces light firm silken tofu
- 2/3 cup light agave nectar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish (optional)
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in a glass plate in the microwave on high setting for about 2 minutes.
- Stir well to melt all the chocolate.
- Place the tofu, chocolate, 1/3 cup of the agave nectar, and the vanilla extract in a food processor.
- Blend until very smooth and there are no pieces of tofu left.
- This will take several minutes.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the salt at medium speed until soft peaks form, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Bring the remaining 1/3 cup agave nectar to a rolling boil in a small saucepan.
- Slowly pour the hot agave nectar syrup into the egg whites and beat on high speed until stiff and glossy, but not dry.
- Gently fold a quarter of the meringue into the tofu mixture, then fold in the rest until no whites are visible.
- Spoon into individual 8-ounce glasses or cups and chill for 3 hours or more.
- The mousse is delicious garnished with fresh raspberries.
