Chocolate Mousse

Even our food staff was surprised when they tasted this sinfully delicious dessert. The best part - it contains two ingredients most women want more of: soy and chocolate!

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

• 3/4  cup  semisweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1  (12.3-ounce) package reduced-fat extra-firm tofu
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 3  large egg whites
• 1/2  cup  sugar
• 1/4  cup  water
• Fat-free whipped topping, thawed (optional)
• Grated chocolate (optional)

Preparation

Place chocolate and tofu in a food processor or blender, and process 2 minutes or until smooth.

Place salt and egg whites in a medium bowl, and beat with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until candy thermometer registers 238°. Pour the hot sugar syrup in a thin stream over egg whites, beating at high speed. Gently stir one-fourth of meringue into the tofu mixture; gently fold in remaining meringue. Spoon 1/2 cup mousse into each of 8 (6-ounce) custard cups. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours. Garnish with whipped topping and grated chocolate, if desired.
