A mousse does not necessarily have to be a dessert, though (like the recipe below) it frequently is. The word actually refers to the light and airy texture of the dish. This recipe comes from a fabulous online magazine: the Vegan Culinary Experience. It was created by one of their long-time contributors, Sharon Valencik, author of Sweet Utopia: Simply Stunning Vegan Desserts. She added a unique twist to her classic vegan mousse recipe for a dessert that is simply divine.

Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    5 Ounces Bittersweet Chocolate, melted
    1-1/2 Cups Silken Tofu, drained and at room temperature
    2/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
    1/3 Cup Merlot (or grape juice or broth)
    1-1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
    1]2 Tbs Chocolate Shavings and Berries, for garnish

Directions

1. Melt the chocolate.
2. Process all the ingredients in food processor or blender until creamy.
3. Spoon into 4 ramekins or fancy glasses.
4. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight before serving.
5. Just before serving, sprinkle the chocolate shavings and berries over each serving of mousse.

Quick notes:
Though it only takes 5 minutes to prepare, this needs to set for at least four hours to achieve a mousse texture. Otherwise, it will be a very tasty pudding.
