About this recipe
Health coach and author Karla Salinari shares some recipes so you can take on the Veganuary challenge.
Going vegan doesn’t mean sacrificing delicious desserts. This chocolate pot de crème uses silken tofu instead of egg yolks and heavy cream. But don’t worry – you won’t be able to taste the tofu.

“Tofu comes in different textures,” Salinari said. “We have silken tofu, we have extra-firm tofu, and we have firm tofu. They don’t taste like anything.”
As an added bonus, this dessert is high in protein and low in fat, yielding a guilt-free dessert option.
