It's GOOD for YOU!!!
Sorry, but I just had to take advantage and post this awesome quote, along with an awesome recipe for my friends who love CHOCOLATE!! ![]()
A little dark chocolate is actually good for you! It's packed with heart-healthy antioxidant power.
Crust
8 whole sheets cinnamon graham crackers, finely crushed
¼ c unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ c butter, melted
Mousse
1 pkg (19 oz) reduced-fat soft tofu, well drained
1 pkg (8 oz) bittersweet chocolate, melted
¼ c chocolate syrup
3 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
Pasteurized liquid egg substitute to equal 4 egg whites
Garnish
Fat-free frozen whipped topping
Chocolate curls
Raspberries, optional
1. To make the crust: In a 9' pie plate, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa, and butter until well blended. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the side of the pie plate. Set aside.
2. To make the mousse: In a food processor or blender, process the tofu until smooth. Add the melted chocolate, chocolate syrup, sugar, and vanilla extract. Combine until the mixture is smooth.
3. With a mixer at high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg white mixture until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the pie is set.
4. To garnish: Add the whipped topping, chocolate curls, and raspberries to the top of the pie, if using.
