Chocolate tofu mousse recipe

This was SUCH a big hit in my house I gained the ‘best mummy ever’ accolade for around 15 whole minutes!

We had these ingredients in, but I appreciate they aren’t so common for everybody to have especially at the moment. Cacao is the purest form of chocolate and is processed differently to cocoa powder so better nutritionally (great magnesium and iron, but also lead so don’t overdo it!) But you could easily substitute this for Cocoa powder.

Ingredients:
1 carton of silken tofu,
1/4 cup cacao powder,
1/4 cup maple syrup,
1tsp vanilla essence.

Method: Mix together (I used a blender) serve into individual glasses and put it in the fridge to set for at least an hour. Serves 4. My kids eat a mostly vegetarian diet but I don’t worry about protein as they eat lots of plant based sources and they do eat meat occasionally when they want it. But I can’t get them to eat tofu as an alternative high protein source, they hate it. Until now 😎 Happy weekend all
