Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 8 | firm tofu |
| 1/4 | skim milk ricotta cheese |
| 4 | light cream cheese |
| 1/4 | pure maple syrup |
| 3 | ground cinnamon |
| 2 | light Irish cream liqueur |
| 1 | nonfat sour cream |
| 3 | pure vanilla extract |
| 1 | honey |
| 1/2 | cocoa powder |
| 1 | egg whites |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, coat a 10-inch glass pie plate with three sprays of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare the cake mixture: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the firm tofu, skim milk ricotta cheese, light cream cheese, pure maple syrup, cocoa powder, egg whites, ground cinnamon, and the light Irish cream liqueur.
-
-
Blend until smooth: Puree the ingredients until you achieve a smooth consistency. This will form the base of your chocolate tofu cake.
-
Pour into pie plate: Once the mixture is smooth, pour it into the prepared pie plate, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake: Place the pie plate on the center rack of the preheated oven. On the bottom rack, position a baking pan filled halfway with water. Bake the cake for approximately 1 hour, or until it’s set.
-
Prepare the topping: While the cake is baking, combine all the topping ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly to ensure everything is well incorporated.
-
Apply topping: After the cake has baked for an hour, remove it from the oven. Spread the prepared topping evenly over the surface of the cake. Feel free to decorate it as desired.
-
Return to oven: Once the topping is applied, return the cake to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping sets and achieves a slightly golden hue.
-
Chill: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Then, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help the flavors meld and the cake to set properly.
-
Serve: Once chilled, slice the Oprah’s Chocolate Tofu Cake into portions and serve it to delight your taste buds with its rich, chocolatey goodness!
This decadent dessert is not only delicious but also packed with protein from the tofu, making it a guilt-free indulgence for any occasion. Enjoy!
