Mocha Mousse is originally from a Woman’s Day special low calorie recipe collection. This one has 208 calories and 11 grams of protein per serving, which is not bad!

The protein comes from silken extra-firm tofu, and all the good flavors come from Kahlua, cocoa powder, agave, and coffee.

You can taste the tofu in here, but it’s good. Try to use extra-firm silken. However, if you can’t find it you can use anything that says silken.

Tofu chocolate kahlua mousse! We are kind of dieting at my house. I’ll bet I could fool my husband with this one!!

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.
