Advantages: Very easy, tastes lovely and it's chocolate!! (You can also make a strawberry version)

Disadvantages: Melting the chocolate can take time.

Ingredients:
1 block of silken tofu (about 400g)
2 heaped tablespoons of icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 bar (about 100g or so) of vegan chocolate

1. Melt the chocolate, either in the microwave (30 seconds, stir and repeat until melted, be careful it doesn't burn) or using a bain-marie (plastic or Pyrex dish inside a saucepan of boiling water, be sure no water gets into the chocolate).

2. Put the tofu, icing sugar and vanilla extract in a blender and whizz it up!

3. Pour into a bowl, add the melted chocolate and mix together.

4. Transfer to smaller dishes and chill. I like to save a bit of chocolate to grate over the top.

Serves 4.

You can also use cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate but I've found this doesn't taste as good.
For a strawberry mousse: add some chopped strawberries to the blender, blend then pour into dishes and chill. You can garnish it with strawberry pieces if you like.

Tastes lovely and very soothing for sore throats!

Summary: A very easy dessert that anyone with a blender can make.
