Seeing double? That's because this recipe serves four! Also, note that the prep time does not including chilling. This is a great make-ahead treat that can even be prepared the night before.

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Thoroughly drain your container of tofu, and place it in a food processor or blender. Puree, periodically scraping down the sides of the bowl, until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Place the white chocolate (finely chopped if using bars) in a microwave-safe dish along with the margarine and ⅓ cup of the champagne. Microwave on high for 1 – 2 minutes, checking at 30 minute intervals and stirring thoroughly until melted. Commercial white chocolate chips are notoriously difficult to melt smoothly, so they may need a good bit of coaxing; After two minutes, let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, stir vigorously, and begin the cycle again. Don’t panic when it turns a translucent, yellow-ish color, as this is normal and it will re-solidify in a more off-white hue.
  3. Once entirely melted and smooth, add in the remaining champagne, vanilla bean seeds, and salt. Reserve the spent vanilla pod for another purpose, such as making vanilla extract or vanilla sugar. Mix well but gently to combine, to prevent the champagne from foaming up.
  4. Transfer the white chocolate mixture to your food processor or blender with the tofu. Blend to combine, and once fully incorporated.
  5. Divide the mixture between four champagne flutes and chill for at least two hours before serving. Top with the whipped coconut cream and chocolate pearls of cocoa rice cereal if desired. Cheers!
