Editors Review
There is no better time than dessert time! And imagine a chocolate dessert which is healthy!? Yes doesn’t is seem like an oxymoron? This recipe uses tofu to make a delicious mousse. Well that may be a little scary for a few, but this tasty dessert has a fraction of the calories and no-cholesterol, found in regular mousses. The miracle of blending will turn not-so-pleasing tofu, into a very yummy, low-calorie, low-fat, dairy-free, vegan chocolate mousse!Chef
