1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee crystals (more, if you like mocha flavoring)
1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
Use an electric mixer to beat the pudding mix, tofu, cocoa powder, and coffee crystals until very smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream until just about stiff.
Turn the mixer to its lowest setting, blend in the pudding mixture, and turn off the mixer-quickly. (If you over-beat, you'll end up with chocolate butter.)
Yield: Made with 1 cup of heavy cream, you'll get 6 servings, each with 8 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fiber, for a total of 7 grams of usable carbs and 5 grams of protein. Made with 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, your yield increases to at least 7 servings, each with 7.5 grams of carbohydrates and just under 1 gram of fiber, for a total of about 6.5 grams of usable carbs and 4 grams of protein. (I like this made with the smaller amount of cream, for a sturdier texture, but I know folks who like it with the larger amount, for a fluffier texture. It's your choice.)
Sugar-Free Vanilla Mousse To Die For!

Yield: Made with 1 cup cream, you'll get 6 servings, each with 7 grams of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and 4 grams of protein. Made with 1 1/2 cups of cream, you'll get 7 servings, each with 6.5 grams of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and 4 grams of protein.
