Tofu Chocolate Truffles
‘Chocolate Ganache’ is usually made by mixing melted dark chocolate with cream. This recipe replaces ‘cream’ with ‘silken tofu’ and that lowers the calories and adds tofu’s nutrients. You will never taste tofu. The ratio of ‘Dark Chocolate’ to ‘Silken Tofu’ is about 2:1 for truffles. More Tofu to add, softer the ganache would be.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Silken Tofu often contains a lot of water. Drain on a colander for half an hour and blend until smooth using a whisk or hand blender. Add Rum (or liquor of your choice) if you like.

* Step 3
Cut into bite-sized pieces. Dust with Cocoa Powder. Alternatively you can roll into balls.
* Step 4
*Tips: Pour the Tofu & Chocolate mixture over your favourite cake base and make the layered chocolate cake like this one.
