Edit Note

Outstanding

Fresh orange sections are topped with a thick chocolate mousse for a unique presentation. The mild bitterness of orange rind and bittersweet chocolate temper the sweetness of this easy dish. You can prepare the dessert up to a day ahead.

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2  cup  sugar
  • 7  tablespoons  unsweetened cocoa
  • 2  tablespoons  Grand Marnier (orange-flavored liqueur)
  • 1  teaspoon  grated orange rind
  • 1/2  teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • Dash of salt
  • 2  (12.3-ounce) packages reduced-fat silken tofu, drained
  • 3  ounces  bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3  oranges, peeled and sectioned

Preparation

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a blender or food processor; process mixture until smooth.

Place chopped chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until almost melted; stir until smooth. Add chocolate to tofu mixture; process until smooth.

Divide orange sections evenly among 6 bowls or parfait glasses; top each serving with 1/2 cup mousse. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
