My name is Archana, I'm an Indian grad student who lives in the US and maintains this blog. I like to cook, bake and offlate, take photos as well. I promise a photo-ridden blog soon - for now, it's got just text. Cooking for me is more a passion than a necessity and I hate following recipes as I think it comes in the way of being creative. That being said, have fun trying these recipes!

Chocolate Mousse

When you're craving chocolate but you don't feel like indulging in all the butter and whipped cream, here's a 'fairly' healthy alternative.

1/2 block tofu
1 bar baking chocolate(either dark or milk)
2-3 spoons rum(optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp soy milk
2 tbsp confectioner's sugar
(if the chocolate is unsweetened use 4 tbsp instead of 2 tbsp)

1. Heat the chocolate in a double boiler. I placed a glass bowl on saucepan of boiling water.
2. Puree the tofu in a blender until it is well-blended.
3. Slowly add the melted chocolate and continue to blend.
4. Add the remaining ingredients and blend them well.
5. Pour the mousse into wine/ martini glasses and refrigerate for atleast 4 hours.
