Black Forest Cake Mousse

I have several different flavors of my signature mousses, and I always love experimenting because tofu is practically flavorless! You can add really any flavor and the tofu will take it on easily. Now that I've been sent several delicious Beanilla Flavor Extracts to review and create recipes with, I HAD to try Black Forest Cake, which is the delicious combination of chocolate and cherries.

This mousse is high in protein, contains healthy fats, and is low in carbs, making it a great snack to have any time of the day, even with breakfast or post-workout! I particularly like it for dessert after dinner, because I always crave something sweet but don't want to sabotage my day of healthy eating!

It is gluten free, grain free, nut free, dairy free, high protein, low carb, with no added sugars! Pretty much perfection in a bowl :)
