Ingredients

  • 1 lb silken tofu
  • 1 c 48% cocoa chocolate chips
  • 1/4 c brown rice syrup

Directions

1.  Blend tofu in a blender until smooth.

2.  Prepare a double boiler to melt the chocolate chips.  To do this, place a metal mixing bowl over top of a sauce pot that holds enough water without hitting the top of the mixing bowl.  Bring water to a simmer.

3.  Add the blended tofu, chocolate chips and brown rice syrup to the double boiler (place in warm metal mixing bowl that's on-top of the simmering sauce pot).  Constantly stir the mixture with a high heat spatula.  Be sure to constantly scrape the bottom to ensure all of the chocolate is removed and all ingredients blend evenly.  Stir until evenly melted and blended.  About 8 minutes. 

4.  Remove bowl from sauce pot.  Let sit for a few minutes to slightly cool.  Place covered in the fridge for at least 2 hours.  

5.  Enjoy as is, sprinkled with black finishing salt or as a dip for fresh fruit, or as an addition to banana ice-cream.
