This is the 'deluxe' version of the 'Berry Tofu Parfait'.  That was 'yummy enough' so I guess this is really the 'deluxe deluxe' version.  But it's still simple to make - and simple to eat :)  And as far as decadent desserts go, apart from the sugar, this is nutritious.  Pretty, tall parfait glasses and long-handled spoons are a must.

1 cup blackberries (fresh or frozen)
500 g silken tofu (2 tube vacuum packs)
2/3 cup raw sugar approx. (or other sweetener)
2 tbs. cornflour
1 1/2 cups water (approx)

This Flourless Chocolate Raspberry Cake recipe features a silky vegan chocolate mousse enhanced with coconut oil, cocoa powder and a touch of vanilla extract. It's then blended with fresh raspberries for a delectable combination. It's also easy to make, wheat free and doesn't even require baking.

Preparation time: 1.5-2+ hours, depending on whether you use a food processor or not! Allow extra time for cooling and setting.
