High protein Silken Tofu Chocolate Mousse

What’s not to love?

A hit of protein along with the beneficial phytoestrogens found in tofu, which are beneficial during perimenopause - all wrapped up into a delicious, mouthwatering mousse. This is one of my go-to’s for getting more tofu in my diet. Preparing a conventional mousse recipe can be a bit of a faff. From beating cream to stiff peaks, to making sure the chocolate isn’t too hot that it cooks the egg yolks. There is a lot that can go wrong in the process. This tofu chocolate mousse is easy and fool proof.

I hope you love it as much as I do.
