Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Silken tofu
- 6 oz Dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (vegan if preferred)
- 3 tbsp Maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
Drain the silken tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel. Set it aside.
In a heatproof bowl, add the dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate.
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler method or in the microwave. To use the microwave, heat the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and completely melted. Set the chocolate aside to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, melted chocolate, maple syrup, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed to ensure everything is properly mixed.
Taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness or spice level to your preference by adding more maple syrup or cayenne pepper, if desired.
Divide the pudding evenly into serving bowls or glasses.
Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set the pudding.
Serve cold. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of coconut whipped cream, or a few chocolate shavings for a decorative touch.
