Secret Chocolate Mousse

I Loved this type chocolate mousse ever since I had it in a torte with fresh raspberries. I've changed it up by having it in a cup with my choice of pureed fruit. Take note that the fruit you want to use for this recipe cannot be too watery. For example, you may use mashed Bananas, pureed Mangoes, or decide to layer using whole berries of any kind, or halved cherries, or just chopped up strawberries, mangoes, etc...
Ideally a small glass or espresso cup can be used. I had to use my coffee cups but they were too big.
This dish is best served cold.


Ingredients:
  • 1 pk Soft Tofu (340g), smoothed down (use hand blender or a whisk)
  • 100g Dark Chocolate, chopped
  • 2 Ripe Mangoes, chopped and pureed (use hand blender)

Get Started:

  • PREP: First chop then puree the Mangoes, place in a bowl, set aside.
  • Open the box of Tofu, and release any extra liquid. Place into a new bowl, and use whisk or hand blender to smooth out. Set aside.
  • Chop the Chocolate, place into a microwavable bowl. Set the microwave timer for 1 minute on high. Place the bowl in the microwave. Stop the Microwave every 10 seconds or so to stir about the chocolate using a spoon. We want to have the chocolate evenly melted. Once chocolate has melted completely, set aside to cool off a bit.
  • When Chocolate is warm, start to pour the Tofu inside a small bit at a time, (approx 1-2 Tbsp), and mix it well into the chocolate until completely blended. As the mixture turns out lighter, you may add more with each addition.
Now we're ready to Plate!

  • In a small glass/cup, First add the puree, to fill half the cup.
  • Then spoon in the Chocolate mousse to fill the other half.
  • You may decorate your glass with a piece of fruit that you used, to hint at what is underneath the chocolate, or Mint leaf, and/or chopped chocolate pieces.

Here they are!
