So I went a different direction and came up with a delicious substitute (because tofutti can be kind of pricey). Instead of the tofutti, use 8 oz. of Silken Tofu, that worked out to about 2/3 of a block. Blend the tofu in a food processer and add about 1/2 c. brown rice syrup, blend to incorporate. <br /><br />Now, the initial texture will be different, but when you mix this with the chocolate, it is delish, a very dense, thick mousse-like filling. <br /><br />Just make sure you get the Silken Tofu (usually in a box on the shelf, won&#39;t work with regular tofu...i have tried) and brown rice syrup you can usually find at a natural grocery store.<br /><br />Hope that helps!!Photo Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14074210784184898011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451077621042643585.post-32315803446029665502010-05-15T14:44:11.077-07:002010-05-15T14:44:11.077-07:00Hi! <br /><br />Just wanted to ask if you had any success making your own cream cheese from tofu?<br /><br />The place where I live is Tofutti-less, and I&#39;m so willing to try these...!Tomaszhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02016009624141923769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451077621042643585.post-4720022936350056232009-12-24T00:02:01.374-08:002009-12-24T00:02:01.374-08:00Tried this recipe today. Brilliant.<br /><br />Anybody in the UK who can&#39;t find the Tofutti cream cheese can substitute Pure soft and creamy. I tried both and they both worked well.<br /><br />Also, as a variation I chopped some nuts and mixed them into the filling... lovely.<br /><br />Looking forward to experimenting further with this recipe :-)bungybunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13570370474652319361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451077621042643585.post-28259765469630344192009-12-21T12:16:50.462-08:002009-12-21T12:16:50.462-08:00Hi Jean! Generally, when I have made these using the tofutti, I have kept them in the fridge if I am not planning on eating them or bringing them anywhere. Mine seem to disappear after a few days, but I am sure that if you keep them cool in the fridge, I don&#39;t see why they would not stay good for at least a week. Hope this helps, and thanks for your nice comments!!Photo Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14074210784184898011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451077621042643585.post-75317059458613275112009-12-20T15:18:30.927-08:002009-12-20T15:18:30.927-08:00These truffles are wonderful, thank you. Does anyone know the shelf life of them? Do I have to keep them refrigerated? I&#39;m just wondering because of the Tofutti cream cheese. Thanks.jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05446832349000553657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451077621042643585.post-33139866846939543162009-12-17T09:56:18.673-08:002009-12-17T09:56:18.673-08:00Hiya Jessica!<br /><br />Thanks for trying these out and letting me know how things went! Luckily, I have a very kind and devoted helper in my kitchen, which makes things easier, but rolling up the filling is messy for me too. As for the chocolate coating, when it is melted, try keeping the heat on a low setting to keep it from firming up as you coat the filling! Hope things helps, and thanks again for the feedback!Photo Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14074210784184898011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4451077621042643585.post-46833684823992483242009-12-12T14:34:16.763-08:002009-12-12T14:34:16.763-08:00I tried these today! The finished product is chilling in the refrigerator as I type this. I have to say, they did not come out to be as beautiful as the ones in the photo, but then again, I am a novice for sure. <br /><br />Also, I had some trouble trying to figure out how to get the filling balls out of the bowl of chocolate coating without making a complete mess of my hands and the kitchen counter. And the chocolate coating started to firm up faster than I would have liked. But the filling tasted superb when I licked the spoon afterwards. I can&#39;t wait to try the finished product!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the great recipe :-)Jessica L.
