How to Make Low Fat Dark Chocolate Mousse

  1. Puree 8 ounces of silken tofu in a food processor or blender until completely smooth.
  2. In a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water (1 inch of water in the pot), combine 4 ounces of finely chopped dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon of brandy (optional).
  3. Stir frequently until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  4. Remove from heat.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup granulated sugar until fully incorporated and smooth.
  6. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the pureed tofu. Blend until completely smooth and well combined.
  7. Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or one large serving dish.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  10. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  11. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
