Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup dates, pitted
- 1 block silken tofu
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the crust for the tart. In a food processor, combine 1 cup of almond flour and 1/2 cup of pitted dates. Pulse the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal and the dates are well incorporated.
- Once the crust mixture is ready, press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Use your fingers or the back of a measuring cup to ensure an even layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- In a clean food processor, add 1 block of silken tofu. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure there are no lumps.
- Next, add 1/2 cup of melted dark chocolate, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the blended tofu. Blend again until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is silky and smooth.
- Once the filling is ready, remove the tart crust from the refrigerator. Pour the chocolate tofu filling into the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- After spreading the filling, you can smooth the top or create decorative swirls using the spatula or a spoon. Optionally, you can sprinkle some crushed nuts or cacao nibs on top for added texture and flavor.
- Cover the tart with plastic wrap or foil and place it back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly. If you're short on time, you can also place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- Once set, carefully remove the tart from the pan. Slice into 8 servings and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious No Bake Chocolate Tofu Tart!
Tips
- Use high-quality silken tofu for the smoothest possible filling - the smoother the tofu, the more luxurious your tart will be.
- Ensure your dark chocolate is fully melted and at room temperature before mixing to prevent any potential seizing.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the filling or using flavored dark chocolate.
- If you don't have a tart pan, a springform pan or pie dish will work perfectly fine.
- For best texture, let the tart set in the refrigerator overnight for maximum firmness and flavor development.
- Want to make it extra special? Garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cacao nibs, or a light dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
