Angelfood cake cupcakes with a bit of cool whip or whipped cream and a berry or fresh mint on top.
You can make them mocha by using cool coffee instead of water (box mix) and adding 1/3-1/2 cup cocoa. The cocoa only adds a few calories to the whole batch.
Pairing top-quality chocolate with tofu produces the velvet mousse of your dreams, while the flavor of Sugar in the Raw deepens its intensity. This elegant mousse is both cholesterol- and dairy-free.
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped 1/2 cup pureed silken tofu, (about 3 ounces) at room temperature 1 teaspoon orange-flavored liqueur, vanilla extract or other flavoring 1/4 cup Sugar in the Raw 2 large egg whites
Melt the chocolate in a medium mixing bowl in the microwave, or over barely simmering hot water. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Stir the tofu and liqueur into the chocolate.
Whirl the sugar in a food processor, pulsing until it has the texture of granulated white sugar.
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until it dissolves and the whites resemble golden marshmallow fluff, about 4 minutes.
With a rubber spatula, fold one-third of the whites into to chocolate mixture. Fold the rest of the whites into the lightened mixture, just until blended.
Spoon the mousse into four dessert dishes or a serving bowl, and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Let the mousse sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving. It will keep up to 3 days, tightly covered in the refrigerator.
Note: Be sure to use silken tofu. Avoid the reduced-fat kind.
