Pots de Crème
This delicate, rich dessert is based on a recipe my grandma often made. When I was a child it was my favorite dessert, but it was packed with eggs and heavy cream. Here’s a fail-safe vegan version that faithfully reproduces the taste of Grandma’s specialty. Served in tiny espresso cups, it provides an elegant ending to any fancy meal. Plus, you can make it the day before serving if you wish—always a bonus when entertaining.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup vanilla nondairy milk
- 12 ounces soft regular or firm regular tofu lightly drained and cubed
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat the nondairy milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until simmering.
- Put the tofu and brown sugar in a blender, then add the chocolate chips. Pour in the nondairy milk and process until completely smooth.
- Spoon the mixture into tiny dessert bowls or espresso cups and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours. Serve chilled.
