YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Phil Vickery’ s silky chocolate mousse By You Magazine - May 31, 2020 Silken tofu is creamy and smooth with a subtle flavour that lends itself to thickening and creating this chocolatey treat. It just happens to be vegan – and low calorie, too. Kate Whitaker SERVES 2 PREPARATION TIME 10 MINUTES 150g silken tofu, drained 2½ tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 5g dark chocolate 1. Pat dry the tofu and then purée in a food processor or blender for a few seconds until smooth. 2. Add the vanilla, sift in the cocoa (to avoid lumps) and blend briefly. 3. Melt the chocolate on low power in a microwave until runny. (If the chocolate cools too fast the texture might become grainy instead of mixing in smoothly.) Add to the tofu mixture in the food processor. Pulse until smooth. 4. Divide between two little serving dishes, such as ramekins, and pop in the fridge to chill until ready to serve. NUTRITION TIP Serving with a few cherries or raspberries on the side will add some useful fibre. Dark chocolate with a high cocoa content (70 per cent or more) is a good source of iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and selenium.
