Chocolate (Protein) Mousse (II)

This recipe is great when you need another daily protein, can't take another MNS pudding, or really want a dessert. It's rich and thick and satisfies that sweet tooth craving. It doesn't need time to set but it really does need time for the flavors to blend so make a day in advance.


Ingredients:
1 pound silken tofu
cheesecloth
1/3 c. high quality cocoa powder*
1/2 c. stevia (see my blog on stevia for more info about this product)
1 small banana

Preparation:
Strain tofu for 1/2 hour. Place in cheesecloth, give a good squeeze and strain an additional 15 minutes followed by one more quick squeeze. Place tofu and remaining ingredients in food processor. Blend until smooth. Divide into 4 oz. portions and refrigerate overnight.

Results! breakdown:
1 protein
1/2 fruit


*Cocoa powder isn't on the approved food list but only adds about 11 calories per serving, not much more than several condiments.
