Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate Mousse Pie

1 cup semi-sweet, nondairy chocolate chips
1/2 cup soymilk or other nondairy milk
1 package Mori-Nu brand silken tofu (firm or extra firm)
1/3 cup of brown rice syrup or other dry or liquid sweetener of your choice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sliced strawberries

Combine the chocolate and nondairy milk in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler and melt, using gentle heat and stirring often. Remove from heat.

Crumble tofu in a blender or food processor. Add melted chocolate and nondairy milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Process until completely smooth, pausing the blender or food processor to scrape down the sides and under the blade as necessary.

Chill the mixture in serving bowls—or, if desired, in a low-fat graham cracker or cookie crust—for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with strawberries.

Variation: Add a chopped banana to the food processor when you process the tofu and chocolate together.
