Easy and very good. Fooled my guest who thought tofu is disgusting. -
Perfect!! I never would have believed it was tofu. So smooth and creamy and chocolatey...yummy!! -
WOW!!!! This is a recipe worthy of 10 stars. It tastes like expensive truffles and has the texture of good mousse. I didn't tell anyone what was in it until after they all were sighing in pleasure and nobody could believe it was tofu. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips since it didn't specify and it has a nice dark chocolate flavor. I wanted to use my new 4 in mini-tart pans, so I just baked regular pie dough in them and filled them with the chocolate filling. Since the filling is so rich I served them with whipped cream on top. This recipe is a definite keeper and I want to experiment with using different liqueurs next time. Maybe some Irish cream or some creme de menth? Mmmmmm.....I can't wait. This is easily my new favorite dessert. -
Fantabulous!! One of my all time favorite easy yet elegant desserts. Feel free to to try other things like regular graham cracker pie crust, white chocolate chips or substitute the vanilla extract for coconut or orange. Or use a different type of liqueur, Amaretto is a nice twist. For a final touch add whippped cream to the slices with shaved chocolate curls or ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top. There is no way on this planet anyone will not know (unless you tell them) that tofu is involved!!

Could not be more simple. Very chocolately. Used Kahlua. Worked beautifully in my food processor. Husband said it could be creamier, but I used the extra firm tofu. Next time I will try the regular. Five easy stars for how simple this was. Thanks!

I'm Asian and had no idea such a thing could be done with tofu! Instead of liqueur, I used espresso shots and poured the filling into tart sized crusts. This is a really great recipe. I used a little less chocolate than required and it came out very smooth and mousse-like. The filling could probably be served on its own without a crust like chocolate mousse.

OMG - I took this to my monthly VPL (vegetarian potluck) and everyone flipped out. It's soooooo good! Two or three people want the recipe. I substituted some espresso for the liqueur, which worked just fine - well, great actually, because I don't know the difference. I'm sure it'd be that much better with some kahlua! So good, give it a try, even my meat-atarian boyfriend loved it! -
Delish. I actually subbed the coffee liqueur with raspberry liqueur (Chambord) which is very nice, although I think I might prefer the coffee. This has a dreamy, mousse-like texture and I would never dream that this was made of tofu or in any way healthy! I acutally prefer it closer to room temperature - it's a little softer and more mousse-y that way. This is dreamy! Thanks, KelBel!
