Many years ago, Mori-Nu shared a “luscious” recipe with us for “easy chocolate dessert.” That basic name didn’t quite capture what the well-known tofu maker had created. It’s a rich but nutritious chocolate mousse layered with fresh fruit and optionally garnished with toppings. So we’ve renamed it dairy-free chocolate mousse parfaits – and yes, it can be made as a single pie.

In addition to updating the recipe, I have a few suggestions, tips, and substitution ideas to share with you.
