- Mash the tofu in a pot.
- Put the pot on a stove and let it boil.
- Add in the muscovado sugar, mix well. Keep stiring while the sugar and the tofu is boiling.
- The sugar will start to melt and the tofu will start to release water. Continuously stirring.
- When the tofu is losing water and become a little grainy, add in the cocoa. The cocoa will absorb in all the water.
- Pour the cocoa little by little.
- After adding the cocoa, the liquid is decreasing. Taste if it suits the taste, the bitterness of the cocoa or the sweetness of muscovado sugar. Always leave it a little more bitter because after blending it and it cools down in the fridge, the truffle becomes sweeter.
- When the mixture becoming thicker and hard to stir, then it is ready to mix it in the blender.
- It is important to blend it when it is hot. Blend it until it reaches the right consistency which is creamy and smooth.
- Pour it into a bowl and put it in the fridge so that it can harden up.
- Afterwards, get 2 spoons and shape the truffle.
- Take the apricot slivers and make a flower on top.
- Add a final touch with cinnamon or powdered sugar.
