Tofu Chocolate-Orange Tart
This a very fuss free (needs very little hands on time) and no-bake recipe and is even very light on the waist. The oats crust adds a nice bite to the relatively softer filling. And the filling leaves a subtle hint of orange flavour.
Ingredients
For the crust-
- ¾ cup jumbo oats
- 3½ tbsp plain whole wheat flour (atta)
- a handful of cashew nuts, ground to the texture of coarse semolina
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 1 tbsp honey
For the filling-
- 350 gms fresh, silken tofu, strained
- 100 gms plain chocolate, melted
- grated rind of 1 orange
To garnish-
- a handful of cashew nuts, roughly chopped
- grated rind of ½ an orange
Instructions
The crust-
- Melt the ghee and honey together and place in a bowl. Mix together with all the other ingredients for the crust.
- Transfer to an 8 inch pie dish and firmly press the mixture down the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
The filling-
- Whisk together the tofu and orange rind and fold in the melted chocolate.
- Spoon the mixture into the chilled crust.
- Gently press down the filling and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
- Garnish with the chopped cashew nuts and grated orange rind.
- Cut into wedges and serve. Make sure it’s chilled when you serve.
Notes
Tofu-
I used fresh silken tofu for this recipe. It has a soft texture, and is silky and creamy.
