Ingredients

  • 8 oz Firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup skim milk ricotta cheese
  • 4 oz Light cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbl Cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 2 lrg Egg whites
  • 1 tbl Ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbl Bailey's Irish Cream (light)
  • 1 tbl Coffee liqueur
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cup Nonfat sour cream or nf plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbl Honey

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2

Coat a 10-inch glass pie plate with 3 sprays of the vegetable oil.

3

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the tofu, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, maple syrup, cocoa powder, egg whites, cinnamon, and the liqueurs.

4

Puree until smooth and pour into the prepared pie plate.

5

Place the pie plate on the center rack of the oven. On the bottom rack, place a baking pan filled halfway with water. Bake for 1 hour.

6

While the cake is baking, combine all the topping ingredients in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly.

7

When the cake has cooked for an hour, remove it from the oven, spread the topping on evenly, decorate if you wish, and return it to the oven.

8

Bake for about 10 minutes more, until the topping sets.

9

Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Decorate with the Chocolate Sauce

10

Making a Chocolate Sauce Design: Put a mixture of 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder into a squeeze bottle or an improvised pastry bag, which can be made by forcing the sauce into a bottom corner of a sturdy plastic storage bag and pricking a small hole throught which it can flow. Squeeze a series of straight lines across the cake, then rake the tines of a fork across the top in the opposite direction to create a pattern.
