PassiFlora: DOW (Dish Of the Week)
This week we are bringing back vegan chocolate mousse recipe. There are several versions of the popular vegan dessert. I make mine almond and orange flavored but feel free to experiment and create your own. The chocolate mousse cake is a good way to surprise your non-vegan friends: watch their eyes round when they find out that it is made with tofu.

1 pack (12oz) soft tofu
