1-1/4 cup Sucanat

How to make Chocolate Cream Couscous Cake
In a medium saucepan combine water, cocoa, Sucanat, and couscous. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally and cook until thickened (10 to 15 minutes). Add vanilla and stir. Spread mixture into a 9-inch springform pan (one that has a removable side).
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler. If unavailable, add water to a saucepan and place a metal bowl over the steam to create a homemade version. Melting chocolate directly over an electric stove will not work — the chocolate will crystalize. Transfer chocolate to a blender, add tofu, and blend. Add maple syrup and blend again until smooth.
Pour filling evenly over couscous. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve cold. Top with fresh fruit such as sliced strawberries or kiwi.
Chocolate Cream Couscous Cake is ready to serve.
