Keith found that when working with small quantities of soy milk, he had to soften/melt the chocolate to get a smooth ganache. There just is not enough heat in the soy milk to melt all the chocolate. > >Puree the tofu in a food processor until it is very smooth and set aside.

The margarine should be completely melted and incorporated into the mixture. The texture of the ganache can be controlled by the ratio of soy milk/puree and chocolate. More chocolate results in a firmer ganache. > >Cover the surface of the " ganache " with plastic wrap and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
