Chocolate Tofu Trifle

• 14 oz (1 pkg) soft tofu
  
• 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  
• 1/2 cu whole yogurt
  
• 1 cu confectioners sugar
  
• 1 pint heavy cream
  
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
  
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1 angel food cake
  
• 8 oz chocolate
  
• 1 tlb butter
  

Blend tofu, cheese and yogurt until. I used goat yogurt, because it was the cheapest. I didn't actually notice it was goat. It has a sharper taste than cow yogurt, which is fine for this, but if you want to use it in place of sour cream, I would stick with cow.

Mix in 1 cu confectioners sugar (or to taste) and extracts. 1 cu made it slightly sweet.

Fold in 1/2 pint cream.

Melt chocolate and butter, add 1/2 pint cream. Add sugar to taste. I think I used about 6 tablespoons.

Cut angel food cake into 1 inch pieces, mix with tofu mixture.

Layer tofu and chocolate.

Ideally, layer in glass bowl, and serve in wine glasses, or something similar, so that the layers are visible.


It was pretty tasty, but the chocolate was a bit overwhelming. It either needed more sugar, or more likely, less chocolate. Next time I will try 4 oz chocolate, and perhaps more butter. Also, some liquid ends up separating out from the chocolate mixture... I'm not sure what from.

Hurm, you could probably take hot chocoalte mix, heavy cream, and gelatin for the chocolate layer. Might be interesting. Or maybe chocolate pudding.

You can substitute other things for the chocolate layer. Fruit or vanilla pudding come to mind. Perhaps alternating chocolate and vanilla pudding?
