Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups boiling water

5 1/2 ounces reduced-fat firm or extra-firm silken tofu -- (1/2

of a 10.5 pkg)

OR 8 ounces reduced-fat firm regular tofu -- or

medium firm

1/4 cup sugar or alternate -- to taste

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

 

Serves 4

 

Mexican hot chocolate is a rich concoction of frothy whipped milk, melted

chocolate, and sugar, with a hint of almonds and cinnamon. Blending hot

water, tofu, and cocoa powder (which gives the chocolate taste without the

cocoa butter) results n a rich-tasting, frothy hot drink, minus the fat!

 

Mix all the ingredients in a blender until smooth and foamy. Pour into hot

mugs and serve immediately.

 

For a mocha version, use hot coffee or coffee substitute instead of water.
