Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
In a blender, combine the tofu, vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt. Blend on low speed until the mixture becomes smooth, pausing as needed to scrape down the sides for an even texture.
Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over the saucepan without touching the water. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and stir the chocolate until it melts completely and becomes smooth, which should take about 2–3 minutes.
Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before transferring it to the blender with the tofu mixture. Blend the ingredients together until they are fully combined and creamy, again scraping the sides if necessary.
Taste the blended mixture and adjust as needed—add maple syrup for extra sweetness or a touch more salt to enhance the flavors.
Pour the chocolate mixture evenly into six ½-cup ramekins. If desired, you can serve the dessert immediately for a softer, silkier texture, or refrigerate the ramekins until the mixture is firm.
Before serving, garnish the pots de crème with chopped strawberries or blueberries for a fresh and vibrant finish.
