Base:
⅔ cup (50g or 1¾ oz) desiccated coconut
⅔ cup (160g or ½ oz) cashew butter
¼ cup (60ml or 2 fl oz) pure maple syrup
Filling:
500g (1 lb) silken tofu, at room temperature
⅔ cup (160g or 5½ oz) firmly packed brown sugar
200g (7 oz) dark (70% cocoa) chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1½ tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 8½-inch round springform cake tin with non-stick baking paper. To make the base, combine the coconut, cashew butter and maple. Press into the prepared tin and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  • To make the filling, place the tofu, brown sugar, chocolate, cocoa and cornflour into the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth.
