- 3.5 ounces roughly chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips (I use 70% dairy-free dark chocolate)
- 1 12 ounce package organic silken tofu at room temperature, drained
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
-
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is melted. Set aside to cool at room temperature.
-
Meanwhile, place the silken tofu and maple syrup in a food processor and blend until very smooth. Add the melted chocolate and blend until well combined.
-
Scoop the mixture into ramekins or glasses, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
