Tips for Making Vegan Cocoa Tofu Brownies:

  • Use silken tofu that has been pressed to remove excess water. This will help the brownies achieve a fudgy texture.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the batter to balance out the sweetness.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough brownie.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.

  • Serve the brownies with your favorite toppings, such as vegan ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
