Healthy Chocolate Mousse Tart

Yep, you read that correctly. No cream, sugar or butter naughtiness. The only ingredient in this that makes it a chocolate mousse technically is the chocolate!

Introducing the high protein, low GI, (depending on the yoghurt brand you use) healthy (low fat) chocolate mouse.

Now this recipe is for a mousse, however the last time I made this I placed the mousse into a sweet short crust tart shell and not one person realised that it wasn’t a full fat chocolate naughty tart.

Such a simple recipe you will never go back to a cream based mousse again!

 

Ingredients:

• 200g dark chocolate
• 350g soft silken tofu, drained
• 2 tsn vanilla essence
• 1/8 tsn almond essence
• ½ cup fat free plain yoghurt

 

Method:

1. Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl on medium in the microwave for 1 minute or until the chocolate starts to melt slightly. With a metal spoon stir until chocolate is smooth and melted.
2. Place the tofu and essence in a food processor and blend until smooth.
3. Add chocolate and process until combined and smooth.
4. Pour mix into a bowl with yoghurt and fold to combine.
5. Pour mix into a read made short crust pastry shell (see notes) and place in the fridge until ready to serve.

 

Notes:

• As mentioned I bough a sweet crust already made pastry shell for this. All I did was follow the directions on the pack and once cooled placed the mousse into the shell and then refrigerated.
• You can also decorate with a cup of mixed berries to serve or with some shaved chocolate curls.
• For more information on how to make the pastry shell please see my spiced pumpkin pie recipe for details on 3 how to make the pastry from scratch.
