Sugar Free Chocolate Mousse - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 10 oz silken tofu
- 12 fl oz heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 package 1.4 oz box, 4 servings chocolate pudding mix, light
- 1/2 tsp dry coffee crystals
- 2 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- In one bowl, using a mixer, blend together silken tofu, pudding mix, coffee crystals and cocoa powder until you get a silky, smooth texture. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until almost stiff. Turn the mixer down to the lowest setting and blend in the chocolate mixture. Turn off mixture. Do not over beat. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
- You can add a couple drops of brandy, almond, hazelnut or other flavor to the chocolate mixture at the beginning. You can also sprinkle dark chocolate shavings or chopped nuts for variety.
- Note: watch the portion sizes, it is wonderful even in small amounts. I usually divide it out in cups or small wine glasses for presentation. A little goes a long way.
