Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams silken tofu
- 100 grams dark chocolate (70% or higher)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 30 grams protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Begin by melting the dark chocolate. Break the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted.
Drain the silken tofu and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a blender or food processor, add the drained silken tofu, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, protein powder, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure all ingredients are well-combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a bit more maple syrup or honey.
Spoon the chocolate cream into individual serving glasses or bowls.
Chill the chocolate cream in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
Serve chilled, optionally topped with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor and texture.
