Last updated on June 20, 2023 By Anna 2 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

This recipe for Light Mocha Mousse is originally from a Woman's Day special low calorie recipe collection.  It's definitely a good one and fairly light, with 208 calories and 11 grams of protein per serving.

Light Mocha Mousse with Silken Tofu

If you are wondering where all the protein in this dessert comes from, it's from silken extra-firm tofu. If you've ever tried cream pie or mousse made with tofu, then you already know how well it works in these kinds of things. The key is using the silken variety, which is pretty easy to find these days. If you don't see it in the produce section, check the Asian foods aisle. Usually it's refrigerated, but Mori-Nu also sells tofu that's packed in boxes and does not require refrigeration.

Other good flavors come from Kahlua, cocoa powder, agave, and coffee. I have not yet tried it with cinnamon, but I'm sure it would be excellent if you are craving the chocolate cinnamon combo.

    Its been a while since I used tofu for mousse or pie, but have a great vegan tofu pumpkin pie where you'd never guess there was tofu in it. I'll have to give this a try sometime, but i might "rich" it up with some melted chocolate chips. 🙂 I do usually get the extra firm version.
