Place the silken tofu in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. This forms the base of the dessert.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently to ensure it doesn't burn. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.
Once the chocolate is melted, add it to the blender with the tofu and blend until well combined.
Add the almond butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender. Blend again until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure everything blends evenly.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup. Blend again briefly if adding more.
Transfer the mixture to individual serving dishes or a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and develop deeper flavors.
Before serving, toast the almond slices in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Garnish the dessert with the toasted almond slices on top for a delightful crunch.
Serve chilled. Enjoy your high protein almond chocolate dairy-free dessert!
