Berries with Chocolate Sauce

Chocolate and berries are always wonderful together. The silken tofu that's blended with the chocolate gives it a creamy texture without using heavy cream. It is a healthy alternative to most dessert recipes for those times when you want a divine chocolate moment.

Prep and Cook Time: 10 minutes; chilling time: 1 hour Ingredients: 1½ cups each fresh or frozen blueberries and raspberries 5 oz organic dark chocolate 3 TBS raw sugar 1/4 cup water 6 oz firm silken tofu

Directions:

1. Melt chocolate and sugar in a double boiler over medium heat.
2. Place tofu, water and melted chocolate in a blender and blend until smooth. Remove to a mixing bowl.
3. Place chocolate pudding in four bowls and top with a generous amount of berries. If you use frozen berries, thaw and drain well before adding. You may want to save juice as frozen berries thaw and drizzle over Berry Delight for extra flavor and nutrition.

Nutritional Profile

Introduction to Recipe Rating System Chart

In order to better help you identify recipes that feature a high concentration of nutrients for the calories they contain, we created a Recipe Rating System. This system allows us to highlight the recipes that are especially rich in particular nutrients. The following chart shows the nutrients for which Berries with Chocolate Sauce is either an excellent, very good, or good source (below the chart you will find a table that explains these qualifications). If a nutrient is not listed in the chart, it does not necessarily mean that the recipe doesn't contain it. It simply means that the nutrient is not provided in a sufficient amount or concentration to meet our rating criteria. (To view this recipe's in-depth nutritional profile that includes values for dozens of nutrients - not just the ones rated as excellent, very good, or good - please use the link below the chart.) To read this chart accurately, you'll need to glance back up to see the ingredients used in the recipe and the number of serving sizes provided by the recipe. Our nutrient ratings are based on a single serving. For example, if a recipe makes 4 servings, you would be receiving the nutrient amounts listed in the chart by eating 1/4th of the combined ingredients found in the recipe. Now, returning to the chart itself, you can look next to the nutrient name in order to find the nutrient amount it offers, the percent Daily Value (DV%) that this amount represents, the nutrient density that we calculated for this recipe and nutrient, and the rating we established in our rating system. For most of our nutrient ratings, we adopted the government standards for food labeling that are found in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's "Reference Values for Nutrition Labeling."
