It's nearly Halloween my favourite time of the year Pumpkins , ghost stories , candles , candy and Costumes . Yesterday had a little house party and everyone got dressed up and it was so much fun . Had a little ghostly movie as well as some midnight entertainment "Lavender "It had a 12 years certificate so the kids could also enjoy . It was very entertaining and I definitely recommend .
Made some pumpkin soup which everyone enjoyed . The main course was spare ribs , chicken wings , hamburgers , salad , fries and potato wedges . For dessert I made some delicious chocolate pots which were a big hit . I made them a bit differently so I ditched the cream and used TOFU !!! Yes tofu a bit of a surprising ingredient but it still tasted delicious . So it was a sort of Vegan chocolate pot . I learned this recipe from a friend of mine and since I love it so much I wanted to share it with you all . If you are thinking of being healthy and shedding some weight look nor further than this delicious dish . So here goes .
First get two slabs of dark chocolate good quality 85% cocoa . Break it up and put it in a dish over a hot pan of water so it can slowly dissolve . Give it a stir once in a while but just let it go slow no hurry . Now get your tofu put it in a clean tea towel . You would need 2 packs of tofu for 2 packs of chocolate . Squeeze out the water from the tofu through the tea towel . So you are left with some dry crumbly tofu . Now put it into a food processor , add the zest of a lime . Now add a teaspoon of dark rum two if it's only for adults. Now add two teaspoons of vanilla bean paste . Add a pinch of salt . Don't forget stirring the chocolate . Back to the processor add in about 150 gms of maple syrup . Now the last a secret ingredient a pinch of chilli powder well I actually add a little less than a teaspoonful . Close the processor and blend for at least two minutes . It has got to be silky smooth before you should start adding the melted chocolate blend it up again and open it should be silky smooth and chocolate heaven . It's ready . Get some little espresso cups or some dainty cocktail glasses and pour your chocolate in . You could add some chocolate shavings on the top or some crushed pistachios and it's super delicious to eat . Enjoy !
I hope you loved this recipe and enjoy making it for your loved ones . Have an awesome weekend and keep smiling . Have a safe and Happy Halloween .
Love & Peace
