Method

  1. To make the base, process the biscuits and salt in a food processor until finely crushed. Add the softened butter, cocoa powder, and maple syrup, then process until well combined. Set aside.
  2. To make the filling, add the tofu, coconut cream, cream cheese, soy milk, maple syrup, almond extract, and vanilla to a high-speed blender and blitz until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the cocoa powder to the blender and blitz until well combined. Add in the melted chocolate and blend again until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Line a round cake tin with baking paper. Transfer the biscuit base into the tin and press it down firmly using a mug or glass.
  5. Pour the chocolate filling on top of the base and smooth it out with a spoon. Place in the fridge to set for 5–6 hours or overnight for the best results.
  6. Once set, decorate with chocolate eggs, chocolate-coated almonds, and pieces of chocolate to your liking.
