**Tofu Fudge Mocha Bars**
**Ingredients:**
– 12 ounces silken tofu
– 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup almond flour
– 1/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1/4 cup almond butter
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
2. In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the vanilla extract and set aside.
3. Using a food processor or blender, puree the silken tofu until smooth. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
4. Add the melted chocolate, maple syrup, coffee-vanilla mixture, almond flour, cocoa powder, almond butter, and pinch of salt to the tofu puree. Blend until well combined and smooth.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
7. Once chilled and firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into desired sized bars or squares.
8. Enjoy your Tofu Fudge Mocha Bars as a decadent dessert or a pick-me-up snack with a cup of coffee or your favorite non-dairy milk.
