Description
These parfaits are so easy to prepare, and taste like you were in the kitchen for days. If you use gluten-free brownies, the parfaits will be totally gluten-free. The mousse mixture will become more mousse-like if it’s refrigerated overnight.
Ingredients
1 (12.3 ounce) MoriNu silken firm or extra firm tofu (room temperature)
1 1/4 cups dairy-free semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons soy or almond milk
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
About 1/2 pan baked brownies, from a mix or homemade
1 jar pitted cherries, drained
So Delicious frozen Coco Whip, or other whipped topping of choice, thawed
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and soymilk and heat on high for 30 seconds. Give the chocolate a stir and heat for another 30 seconds. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted, smooth and shiny. If the chocolate is not completely melted after stirring, heat for another 15 to 20 seconds. Add the rum and gently stir until mixed. Alternately you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
In a blender or a food processor, add the tofu and melted chocolate mixture and blend until super smooth. Add the powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and blend again until mixture is smooth and fluffy. You can use the mousse immediately, or let it chill for several hours or overnight. This will give it more of a mousse-like texture.
Cut the brownies into small pieces. You will probably only need half of a pan. In small canning jars or glasses, place a small layer of brownie pieces. Top with a layer of the mousse. Sprinkle with some of the drained cherries. Place a dollop or two of the whipped topping over the cherries. Repeat the layers until the jar or glass is almost filled. Repeat with remaining glasses.
