This is an easy, festive, dessert that even non vegans will love. The base is tofu but it’s so chocolatey and minty, you’d never guess.

You will need a blender or food processor to make this recipe. The recipe below makes 4 dainty servings. You could easily double it to make more, but I would make it in two batches to prevent over filling a food processor or not blending evenly.

• 2 candy canes
• 1 block of silken tofu
• 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice (this takes away some of the tofu flavor)
• 1/4 cup natural cane sugar
• 1/4 cup + 2 T quality cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
• roughly 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Start by crushing the candy canes and setting aside. These will be used to garnish the final product. Next, drain the liquid from the block of tofu. Place the tofu, lemon juice, and sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend thoroughly, stoping to scrape down sides occasionally, until tofu is uniformly smooth. Next add cocoa-salt and blend more, scraping down sides to ensure even blending. This can be served right away, or placed in a container with a tight fitting lid and refrigerated until ready to use. Do not garnish with crushed candy canes until ready to serve.
