      I made this today. Was a bit sceptical as I have previously made tofu choc mousse and threw the whole lot in the bin - but this was to die for.

      So rich, decadent and fudgey - the best way to describe it is like a chocolate ganache tart. I served thin slices with a side of vanilla So Good ice cream (to cut through the heavy choc) and a mixed berry coulis (seived because I hate seeds!) It was fantastic.

      I have never seen my husband lick a plate clean before tonight :)

      I used the coffee, but to be honest you couldn't taste it. I also had to substitute the almond meal for oats, as my husband has a nut allergy. 5 stars. So easy & no one would know it has tofu in it!

    does it still work ok if you use regular dark chocolate?? or does the recipe need to be adapted?

      Most decent dark chocolate is dairy free as it has a higher cocoa content and therefore should require less, if any, milk solids.
