One of my favorite coffee drinks is a blended peanut butter mocha. Sounds weird and it is. But if it sounds good, at all, here is a mousse recipe that is almost easy and tastes just as good as the drink.
You may find this to be a very bizarre recipe. But it is so good.
Peanut Butter Mocha Mousse
1 - 12 ounce Pkge tofu (I used soft) 12 ounces. (You can use more but the flavor will be stronger soy)
3/4 cup of melted chocolate chips (I use the tollhouse because the main ingred is chocolate many of the others start with sugar)
1/2 cup of peanut butter
2 TBSP strong brewed coffee or espresso.
Blend this all together, toss in a small handful (1/8 to 1/4 cup) of chocolate chips and let the chips break up into tiny pieces.
You may put this directly into bowls and chill until firm, or make a chocolate wafer crust or buy a prepared one and dump the mousse in and chill and serve it as a pie. Or you may melt more chocolate chips and coat the inside of silicone cupcake holders and chill until firm, then add the mousse and chill. The texture is amazing and the taste is terrific. If you hate the taste of soy, at all, you may not like the hint....but really it's so easy and delicious. Let me know you're coming and I'll whip some up for you.
And it's delicious fraternal twin. Mint Mocha Mousse
Mint Mocha Mousse

3/4 cup of melted chocolate chips (I use the tollhouse because the main ingred is chocolate many of the others start with sugar)
1/2 to 1 tsp of mint extract (1 tsp is heavily mint....try 1/2 tsp first unless you LOVE mint).
2 TBSP strong brewed coffee or espresso.
Blend this all together, toss in a small handful (1/8 to 1/4 cup) of chocolate chips and let the chips break up into tiny pieces.
You may put this directly into bowls and chill until firm, or make a chocolate wafer crust or buy a prepared one and dump the mousse in and chill and serve it as a pie. Or you may melt more chocolate chips and coat the inside of silicone cupcake holders, chill until firm, then add the mousse and finish chilling.

I'm sure glad you explained these pictures and gave the receipes because at first glance this doesn't not look edible!!
With closer examination and looking at the receipes this might be something I'd try.
Thanks for sharing.

Ha, Nora.
that's just because I blog so much about walking the dogs etc. : ). If you try one and only one, do the peanut butter...it is the best texture.
