Tofu Temptation

The mousse which Jo and I made for Reeves's b'day is really adaptable. Simply take 1 package tofu (~13 oz), dice it, put it in a collander and pour boiling water over it, then press it a bit, then try to blend it (difficult in a blender, so start adding some milk); melt 4 - 5 oz 100% cacao, add 1 heaping T. cocoa, meanwhile trying to get the damn thing to blend; add 1 t. vanilla and a pinch of salt, and after that it's all optional: can add 1/2 t orange zest, remove the serving(s) for people who don't want it to be sweet, then add maybe 2T. maple syrup.
Question: Speaking of mousse, what about Jody's moose triumph at the cooking contest at the conference last spring??? Can we see a recipe??
