Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Parchment paper
  • 9 inch baking pan
  • Airtight container with tight-fitting lid or freezer bag

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or substitute your preferred sweetener, to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 12 oz extra firm tofu (approximately 350 g)
  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate (approximately 6 oz)

Instructions

  • Add 1 cup brewed coffee, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid (or freezer bag). Mix well.
  • Cut 12 oz extra firm tofu into bite-sized pieces (any shape you like), then add them to the container.
  • Marinate for at least 4 hours (or up to 24 hours).
  • When the tofu has finished marinating, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Transfer the marinated tofu pieces to a 9-inch baking dish (discard the marinade). Spread in an even layer, then bake for 20 minutes.
  • Let the tofu cool to room temperature.
  • Add 1 cup chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat.
  • Cook, stirring frequently until melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.
  • Add the tofu pieces to the pot, then gently stir to coat them in melted chocolate.
  • Use a fork to lift the tofu pieces out of the pot, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the pot, and place them on a sheet pan (or plates) lined with parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour or until the chocolate has hardened.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
