Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Silken tofu
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Drain the silken tofu and pat it dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second increments, stirring between each until fully melted.
In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add the non-dairy milk one tablespoon at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the pudding and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
Divide the pudding evenly into four serving dishes or ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spoon if needed.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours to allow it to chill and set.
Serve cold, optionally garnished with fresh berries, whipped coconut cream, or shaved chocolate.
