Chocolate Orange Mousse

  • 8 oz bittersweet chocolate
  • 12 oz package of light silken tofu
  • 1/3 cup seedless raspberry fruit spread
  • 2 Tbsp orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp Triple Sec (or 2 more Tbsp orange juice)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • Chop chocolate into small pieces. In a microwave oven on medium power, or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate.

    In a food processor or blender, puree tofu until creamy, about 30 seconds, scraping sides as needed. Add all but the chocolate and puree until smooth. Add melted chocolate and puree until well blended, scraping sides as needed. Chill to desired temperature.

    Note: Mousse gets thicker as chilled; add light whipped topping for smooth consistency.
