Here's a sample of her recipes :
■1 package silken or firm tofu (such as 12.3 oz Mori-Nu or Mori-Nu lite)
■1 tsp cocoa powder
■1 tsp pure vanilla extract
■2 T nondairy milk
■scant 1/8 tsp salt
■8 to 10 oz chocolate chips (a little over 1 and 1/3c or more)
■2-3 T agave or other sweetener (When I make this just for me, I omit)
■optional: extracts, flavorings, or liqueurs
Melt the chocolate (either on the stove or in the microwave), then throw everything into a food processor and blend until super-smooth. Pour into a pie crust if desired. (I hate pie crust and therefore usually keep it crustless.) Fridge until chilled. This gets firmer and firmer, the longer it sits. (It’s firmer if you use firm tofu and more like mousse pie if you use silken.)

I promise you, everyone will rave about it, and no one will believe it has tofu!!
You truly can make this in just 5 minutes!

These stats were calculated using 8 slices. Some of my testers say it’s so rich that it should be ten slices… and I say it’s so good that it should be six . (Add about 7 calories per slice for each T of agave used.)

Healthy desserts definitely do exist, you just need to think outside the box a little bit when it comes to the recipes. It's all about substituting the fattening and calorie intense ingredients for healthier alternatives. Substituting mayo for fat free yogurt in your dessert cooking, and other helpful tips like that can help to make all of your favourite desserts a lot healthier. There's some great books available on this kind of recipe alteration thing too. I reviewed one such recipe book recently on my healthy desserts blog here I love going about it in this way, as it means you can still carry on eating the desserts you love, but you are simply making them a lot healthier by being a bit savvy about the ingredients that go into them
