  • Serves5
  • DifficultyEasy
250g package silken tofu, drained
85g high quality plain chocolate, finely chopped
25g unsweetened cocoa powder
65ml water
1 tbsp brandy
100g plus 1/2 tsp caster sugar
65ml double cream
1 1/4 tsp grated chocolate
In a blender or food processor, puree the tofu until it is smooth.

Put the chopped chocolate, cocoa powder, water and brandy in a heat-proof bowl. Place over a saucepan of 2.5cm barely simmering water. Stir frequently, until all ingredients are blended and smooth. Remove from heat.
