4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 12-ounce packages lite tofu, drained

In a food processor or blender, puree tofu until creamy, about 30 seconds, scraping down sides as needed. Add cocoa and cinnamon. Puree until well-blended. Add syrup, vanilla, and melted chocolate. Puree until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Cover and chill several hours or overnight.
