- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease and line a 6-7cm deep, 18cm-wide springform cake tin. Double wrap the outside of the tin with foil to make it waterproof.
- Put the granola in a bowl and crush with the end of a rolling pin. Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, then mix into the granola. Spoon into the tin, press down with the back of a spoon and bake for 15 mins.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the soft cheese, cocoa and sugar. Put the tofu in a blender or food processor with the coconut milk and corn flour, and blitz briefly until smooth. Stir into the soft cheese mix until combined.
- Once the base is cooked, stand the tin in a deep roasting tin. Spoon over the chocolate mix. Boil a kettle, then pour water into the roasting tin so it comes to halfway up the sides of the cake tin. Bake for 1 hr or until firm. Turn off the oven and leave the torte inside to cool for 15 mins with the door ajar.
- Transfer the torte from the water to a wire rack. Leave to cool completely in the tin (about 2 hrs), then remove and slide onto a serving plate. Chill for 2 hrs.
- To serve, peel and slice the mango. Toss in rum, if using, and arrange on top of the torte. Scatter over the coconut and chocolate, if using. Cut into slices.
