[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chocolate mousse:
Dark chocolate 
Silken tofu 
Dash of date or maple syrup 
1/4 cup soy milk  [/quote]
I tried this once and it was one of the worst things I've ever eaten. If gluten free is the goal, then why not just eat chocolate pudding? This recipe is for people who only eat vegan raw food and have forgotten what actual dessert tastes like.[/quote]

Did you make it correctly? Not pp but I've done a version of this for parties and it gets gobbled up so quickly I've learned to set some aside for my friends who are vegan or dairy/gluten free or they risk missing out. I didn't use soy milk though.[/quote]

Yes, I made it correctly and it looks like pudding but tastes like raw tofu slightly masked with other flavors. (Yes, I used silken tofu.) Are you sure your friends didn't just throw it out while you weren't looking? Why use tofu as a thickener rather than starch like a regular pudding? Gluten free does not mean vegan.[/quote]

Hmmm, I make it with high quality chocolate and you can't taste the tofu. I use the asceptic containers of Japanese silken tofu.

Why use tofu? High protein, low calories, fairly healthy. I first made it for a cousin who can't eat any wheat or dairy and is vegetarian and has a free other allergies. She is often disappointed by not being able to eat desserts. I thought it works mainly be for her and everyone else would eat the regular desserts, but the tofu mousse goes quickly on the dessert table, especially if you don't tell people it's vegan unless they ask.

Maybe you're more sensitive to flavors, though. [/quote]
