Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 200 grams Silken tofu; 1 Egg; 100 grams Sugar; 70 grams Chocolate chips or a chocolate bar; 1 tbsp Milk; 30 grams Flour; 10 grams Corn starch or katakuriko; 10 grams Cocoa powder; 1 pinch Salt; 1 dash Vanilla extract; 1 Chocolate chips (for topping)

Servings: persons

1
Strain the tofu lightly through a strainer and whisk until smooth.
2
Add the egg and sugar and mix thoroughly.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate and milk, then microwave for 1 minute.
4
When the chocolate has melted, add that chocolate mixture into the tofu and mix well.
5
Add vanilla extract and the other powdered ingredients.
6
Also add salt and mix until smooth.
7
Strain through a strainer as you pour the mixture into the loaf tin.
8
Don't worry if it's still a little lumpy.
9
(Make sure to grease the tin because the dough might stick.)
10
Top the surface evenly with chocolate chips.
11
Bake in the oven at 180C for 35-40 minutes.
12
It's ready to be served when the surface is dry and spongy when touched.
13
Let it cool in the tin.
14
For an even richer texture, chill in the fridge.
15
Check the brownies while they're in the oven -they're ready when the chocolate chips are about 80% sunken into the dough.
16
COOKPAD user Harapekoen'nan made a new variation.
17
It uses 150 g of tofu, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 whole banana.
18
I tried it too.
19
It has a nice banana flavor and it's even chewier.
20
It's not too sweet, and the banana and chocolate taste great together!
21
This is the miso strainer (left) and the oil drainer (right) that I used to strain the tofu and dough.
22
In this variation, I substituted the chocolate with white chocolate, and the cocoa powder with almond flour.
23
It tastes like New York cheesecake!
24
So delicious - even milkier and smoother then the chocolate version.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
