Indulge with this delightfully easy, vegan-friendly chocolate dessert.
Gordon Neale, Head Chef at Audleys Wood Hotel in Hampshire, brings you one of his favourite desserts for Veganuary. So simple, so good! Why not have a go?
Ingredients (for 6 people)
- 200g dairy-free dark chocolate (at least 75% cocoa solids)
- 700g silken tofu
- 150g maple syrup
- 1 orange (zest of)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 tablespoon dark rum
- 1 large pinch of dried chilli flakes
- 1 large pinch of sea salt
Method
- 1. Gently melt the chocolate in a large bowl over hot water, stirring occasionally
- 2. Whilst the chocolate is melting, place the tofu into a tea towel and squeeze out the excess moisture
- 3. Put the tofu in a food processor with the rest of the ingredients (not the chocolate) and blitz until smooth
- 4. Once the tofu is smooth, add the melted chocolate and pulse until silky smooth
- 5. Divide the mixture into 6 serving pots and chill for 15 minutes before serving
Tip: The rum is not essential and can either removed or replaced. Gordon likes to add Grand Marnier to really bring out the orange flavour.
