Description
These High Protein Chocolate Tofu Dessert Cups are ultra creamy, no bake, and made with silken tofu and real dark chocolate for a mousse like texture. Dairy free, gluten free, and easy to prep ahead.
Ingredients
14 oz (400 g) silken tofu, drained
3.5 oz (100 g) dark chocolate, chopped
2 Tbsp (10 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
3 to 4 Tbsp (45 to 60 ml) maple syrup (or honey)
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 pinch fine salt
Optional toppings: berries, shaved chocolate, cacao nibs, coconut whipped cream
Instructions
1. Melt the chopped dark chocolate until smooth, then let it cool 2 to 3 minutes so it is warm but not hot.
2. Drain the silken tofu and pat lightly to remove surface moisture.
3. Add tofu, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a high speed blender.
4. Blend 60 to 90 seconds until completely silky, scraping down the sides once.
5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed, then blend 10 seconds more.
6. Portion into 4 to 6 small cups or jars and smooth the tops.
7. Chill at least 2 hours (best at 4 hours) until set.
8. Top as desired and serve cold.
Notes
Use silken tofu only. Firm tofu will turn grainy.
For extra high protein, blend in 1 to 2 Tbsp (10 to 20 g) chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
Make ahead: store covered in the fridge up to 5 days.
Freezing: freeze up to 2 months, thaw overnight for pudding texture or eat semi frozen like a fudge cup.
Sweetness depends on chocolate percent. Start with 3 Tbsp (45 ml) maple syrup, then adjust.
