Espresso Mousse

I love the flavor of espresso anytime of day.  This is a simple light dessert that won’t make you feel guilty for enjoying it.

Ingredients:

1 package silken tofu drained

½ cup espresso chips

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch processed)

¼ cup water

¼ cup sugar or 3 packets monk fruit sweetener

Directions:

1. Puree the tofu in a blender or food processor until it is smooth.
2. Add the espresso chips, cocoa powder, and water in a saucepan over a pot containing an inch of simmering water.  Stir frequently until smooth.  Remove from heat. Mix in the sugar or monk fruit sweetener a little at a time until smooth.
3. Add the chocolate mixture to the tofu and puree until smooth and well blended.  Transfer to a covered dish and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Optional: Top with whipped cream or shaved chocolate.
