Chocoholic

I am writing relatively early today because I have my regional playoff game for lacrosse this afternoon!  We won districts against our rivals, Western High School.  With a score of 9 to 6, we beat them for the first time all season.  So, today, we are playing Coral Shores High School to determine which team moves on to states.  Wish us luck!

So, today I baked my third and final meal of the week.  I chose a light and decadent dessert that everyone loves: chocolate mousse.  Usually, chocolate mousse has about 361 calories plus however many calories are in the whipped cream and chocolate used to garnish the mousse!  However, this recipe has a mere 147 calories and an additional optional 15 for whipped cream.  For this recipe I used semisweet chocolate chips, reduced-fat extra-firm tofu, salt, egg whites, sugar, and water.  Besides letting it chill for 4 hours, it was relatively easy and fast to make.  This dessert is great for anything!

Over the weekend, I am going to continue planning my final WISE presentation.  I plan on doing an interactive presentation and allowing my audience to taste one of the recipes I have made.  Keep posted!


RANDOM FACT: The Swiss consume the most chocolate.  Then the English!
