Ingredients:





    10 oz Silken soft tofu; *


   1/4 c  Cocoa powder


     2 tb Maple syrup; to 4 tbs


     2 tb Grand Marnier; to 3 tbs


     1 ts Vanilla extract


          Strawberries or sliced fresh


          -peaches






 * For best results, use the fresh (refrigerated) tofu, not aseptic-packed.


 


 Makes 1 1/2 cups.


 


 Drain the tofu in a fine-mesh strainer for 15 minutes.


 


 In a blender or food processor, puree the tofu until creamy, about 30


 seconds. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, Grand Marnier, and the vanilla


 extract. Blend thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the container. Blend


 until the mixture is extremely smooth.


 


 Transfer to a well-sealed container and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Keeps


 for up to three days.


 


 NOTES : "This rich, velvety topping has a lovely sheen and makes an elegant


 dessert when spooned over small whole strawberries." [Lorna Sass]


 Alternatively, use this sauce over sliced fresh peaches, lowfat pound cake,


 or angel food cake. It can even be consumed alone, as a pudding.
