Recipe By :Vegetable Heaven by Mollie Katzen (Hyperion)

Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:30

Categories : Desserts

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips -- or less

5 ounces soft silken tofu

1 large ripe banana

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon raspberry vinegar

fresh raspberries -- optional

 

1. Melt 1/2 to 3/4 cup chocolate chips in a double boiler.

 

2. Place the tofu and a handful of banana chunks in a blender and begin to

puree. Gradually add the remaining banana, processing between additions to make

sure it all whips up smoothly. Add the vanilla, sugar, salt and vinegar as you

go. Pour in the melted chocolate (it's OK if it's still hot), scraping in every

last bit. Puree one more time until very smooth and uniform, and taste to

adjust the sugar. Transfer the mousse to individual serving dishes, cover

tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

NOTES : This rich, intense dessert contains no dairy. Silken tofu creates the

creamy texture. Cookbook author Mollie Katzen suggests that if you are serving

it to a tofu-phobe, don't reveal the ingredients until the diner has scraped the

last bit out of the dish. Allow time to thoroughly chill the pudding. Optional:

just before serving, top each dish with a few raspberries.
