This was the best tofu mousse I've had. We didn't have brandy so I used creme de cacao (even better in my opinion). Really easy to put together and was great even a few days later. I never experienced the liquid separation that Maito had. Made for V*gan Recipe Swap Sept '08.

I made this back when this episode first aired, and it is absolutely fabulous! It is very rich and very thick. I substituted ultrafine sugar and kahlua (and doubled it). I recommend not telling people it has tofu in it, until after they exclaim - this is the best mousse I have ever had!. The tofu really just takes on the flavor of the other ingredients, so use the best chocolate you can find. I served these in martini glasses, so it made 4 very large servings. If this is for company, serve them the same day. They still taste just as good the next day, but the liquid does start to separate a little. This recipe is a true winner!
