      Chocolate Raspberry Parfait

 
Looking for a healthy way to indulge?

Try this Chocolate Raspberry parfait which is easy to make, good for you, and will still satisfy your chocolate craving.

Ingredients:

For the raspberry cream:

  • 2 cups of fresh raspberries
  • 3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
  • 1 (12 ounce) package of firm silken tofu
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For the chocolate cream:
  • 1 (12 ounce) package of firm silken tofu
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Garnish:
  • 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries for garnish
Directions
  1. To make the raspberry cream, combine the raspberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the raspberries start to break down, about 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the tofu and lemon juice, and blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate the mixture until completely cool.
  3. To make the chocolate cream, place the tofu, cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a blender. Purée until smooth and creamy.
  4. To serve, fill six (6-ounce) parfait cups halfway with the chocolate cream. Fill the ramekins the remainder of the way with the raspberry cream.
  5. Chill for 1 hour before serving. The chocolate and raspberry layers can be made separately 1 day ahead and then assembled to serve.
  6. Just before serving, garnish each ramekin with a few of the fresh raspberries.
