Recipe: Chocolate Tofu Mousse with Bailey's

Dear readers, did you all have a wonderful Christmas celebration? We most certainly did in our home, had a great day of food and fun. Now that Christmas is over, you can now start planning (again!) for your New Year's eve meal. Here is a simple yet delicious chocolate tofu mousse with Bailey's which you can serve to your guests. 

I am not a fan of using raw eggs in my desserts, so when I saw this recipe on my friend Mich's blog which uses tofu instead, I immediately bookmarked it to try. The resulting dessert was really good, you won't be able to tell that tofu has been used. Silky smooth, very rich and decadent. The addition of alcohol is optional, you can make non-alcoholic ones for the kids. For the adults, I like using Bailey's since it's one of my favorite liqueur in desserts. You can serve it in tall wine glasses or highballs, to suit the theme of your New Year's Eve party.

An elegant dessert to be served at your NYE's party!

Rich and decadent!
