Elana’s Meat-Free Monday: Creamy Chocolate Mousse

(VEGAN/VEGETARIAN RECIPES) Chocolate mousse can be a luxurious treat and an impressive dessert when entertaining. This recipe is made with tofu, so it’s very filling and a small serving of about 1/4 of a cup should be a good start.

You can dress it up with your favorite additions like chocolate shavings, nuts, and sprinkles. You can even use it as a base for other desserts like chocolate mousse pie.

Best of all, it’s a healthy dessert option that is actually full of protein. Delight in a decadent bowl for dessert!  — Global Animal
