Mocha Mousse Recipe
This is an amazing Chocolate Mousse made with tofu. I tricked my hubby one night and served this after he told me he’d never eat tofu. Because it tastes like the most delicious chocolate mousse ever, he loved it– but he WAS quite surprised to find out he just ate tofu!

It was a bit harder to do the dates in the blender than I thought. Wish I would have had the date sugar. But overall, I thought is tasted really good! Love having another non dairy recipe!
Thanks Bonnie!
