The inspiration for this recipe came from the recently viral, flourless chocolate cake. I noticed that the texture of those cakes closely resemble that of a dense, fudge-like tart. I have not made one yet, but it’s definitely on my baking list of things to try. The shot of espresso in this tofu chocolate tart adds another level of flavor to the deep, chocolatey goodness.

Is this recipe vegan?

Unlike the flourless chocolate cake trend which uses egg, this recipe is 100% vegan. It is also gluten free! Sure, the denseness of the tart may not be the same as the cake but I can assure you that you will not miss the eggs here! The best way that I can describe the density and texture to you would be comparable to a chocolate mousse in tart form.

What else can I make with silken tofu?

Common foods that can be made with this are, dips, smoothies and other desserts. It is commonly used as an egg replacement in baking. It’s creaminess makes this ingredient so versatile!

What equipment will I need to make this no bake tart?

I’ve linked below a few key pieces of equipment that you may need if you do not have them already. All links are to Amazon.

  • Blender or Nutribullet. This will be to blend your silken tofu to a beautiful and creamy texture.
  • Food processor. You will need this to assist you in making your date and nut crust.
  • A 9 inch tart pan with removable bottom. This will ensure that your tart will release safely from the tart mold.
