Drain the silken tofu well and place it in a blender.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, vegan chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, and salt to the blender.
Blend all the ingredients on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup.
Transfer the pudding mixture into a medium-sized saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid sticking, for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool down to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the pudding into individual serving cups or a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruit, nuts, or a sprinkle of additional cocoa powder.
