Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- dark chocolate
Roughly chop good-quality 70% dark chocolate.
- soft tofu
- dark brown sugar
- salt
- vanilla
- coffee
- Frangelico
Put the soft tofu in a food processor or blender with dark brown sugar, a little salt, a smidge of vanilla, coffee and a splash of Frangelico; blitz until smooth.
Soft tofu instead of cream and eggs
With the heat off but the bowl still on the water bath, add the tofu mixture to the chocolate a little at a time, stirring; if it clumps, turn the heat back on to melt it.
Run a rubber spatula across the bottom for unmixed chocolate; taste and adjust the sweetness.
Tasting, adjusting and a lighter version
Variation: beat air into the warm mixture with an electric beater before chilling for a lighter mousse.
- cape gooseberries
Chill into a rich, dense mousse; serve in small mason jars topped with cape gooseberries, husks twisted back.
Garnishing with cape gooseberries
- crushed Oreos
Variation: layer mousse, crushed Oreos and more mousse; top with fruit, fanned strawberries and Pocky.
