Sweet and Savory Saturday – Rich Chocolate Tofu Mousse

Tofu adds creaminess to this mousse without the extra fat.

Welcome to Sweet and Savory Saturday here at the Health and Food Forum’s Blog.  Today’s recipe of choice is a rich, creamy chocolate mousse made with tofu.  It can be served plain, with fresh fruit, or as a parfait with crushed vanilla wafers and cinnamon chips as shown above.  Tofu (soybean curd) is a healthy alternative to using heavy cream and eggs.  It is a good source of protein and healthy fats; and, it has been shown to improve cholesterol levels and to protect against heart disease and certain cancers – who knew health could taste so good!
