- I have made tagliatelle pasta
- A bolognese is simmering on the stove.
- The appetizer will be crostini with brie and mango chutney
- Chopped kale with golden raisins, truffled Marcona almonds, crumbled Gorgonzola, and a lemon vinaigrette make the salad.
- Chocolate coffee mousse with a hint of Chambord is chilling.
I am having an absolute blast! (Those who really know me will understand this).
Yes, the diet starts tomorrow. I'm sorry that you can't join us (well no, not really), but here is the recipe for the mousse. I hope that helps a bit:
Chocolate Coffee Mousse
Ingredients
- 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 pound silken tofu, drained
- 1/4 cup strong black coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon Chambord
Instructions
- Place the chocolate and coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir occasionally and remove from heat when melted and smooth.
- Place the tofu, chocolate mixture, and remaining ingredients in a blender. Process until thoroughly mixed and smooth.
- Divide among 6 dessert dishes. Chill for at least 2 hours or as long as overnight.
- Suggested garnishes (optional) -- fresh raspberries or strawberries, grated dark or white chocolate, mint leaves
