Cynthia — Hooray! Thanks for dropping in! I hope you do try it…I just made some more tonight to satisfy (yet another) chocolate craving! Hugs back from the U.S.

Ari — Hmmm. I think with tofu the benefits generally far outweight the negatives, but with many things, I try to eat it in moderation. If you like chocolate pudding I think you’ll like this!! I don’t notice any weird taste, then again, I’m a tofu fan so I guess you’ll have to see for yourself if this one wins you over! : )

Kelly—-I don’t know what to tell you about soy-free ideas for this…but I do know I have IBS and coconut oil/coconut/etc is one of the few items that DOESN’T bother me……really, you should give them a try. If not, the only other thing I can think of that might work is Organic Palm Oil Shortening…….

Beth—–this looks delish! I’d love to try it, but I’m really nervous about tofu. I’ve tried (a couple of years ago) to make things with tofu (sour cream and frosting) and it just tasted awful. Can you taste it here? Also, I worry about the healthfulness of tofu…..I’ve heard so much good and bad about soy I just don’t know what to think. This looks good….just worried I would taste it/or at least the texture would be weird……and if it would be good for me…….thanks! -Ari

Kelly — Ha. As far as I know, there’s no “rice tofu” (I wouldn’t put it past someone to think of it, though!). Hmmm, as far as substitutes, the only thing that comes to mind that might work is yogurt…then again, I’m not sure how you feel about letting your yogurt come to room temp. before blending it. But it could work! And as to the coconut oil, I have some (mild) IBS and don’t have a real problem with it, plus it gets hard when it’s cold to give the mousse a really nice texture that I’m not sure would be there otherwise. That said, if you experiment with anything else that works for you, let me know!! Good luck! : )

if one were soy-free any ideas of good substitutes? (do they make “rice tofu”?) Also, I have IBS (a blanket-statement, really) and I have heard coconut products can be bad news. Would grapeseed or safflower oil work in this recipe?

This looks delicious. I was in the throes of a similar ice cream craving and made raspberry almond soft serve recently – it was higher in sugar than I usually eat (I focus on getting sugar from fruit and a touch of agave mainly, but even then I usually limit my fruit intake) but very very delicious.

Good luck studying for the bar. I really did think I was going insane when I took it – I took NY as well by the way.

This sounds decadent! Great choice – you get your yummy chocolate, and your waistline can stay relatively in check!
