Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12.3 oz silken tofu
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Whipped Topping (optional)
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the silken tofu, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a food processor. This combination forms the base of your pudding, ensuring all flavors meld together.
- Blend Until Smooth: Process the mixture for about 1 minute until it becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly blended.
- Chill the Pudding: Divide the chocolate pudding mixture into 6 individual cups or small bowls. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set and develop its silky texture.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Once chilled, top the pudding with optional whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired. Serve immediately for a delicious and satisfying dessert.
Notes
- Use silken tofu for the best creamy texture; firm tofu will result in a grainy consistency.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of powdered sugar to your taste.
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of salt or a tablespoon of espresso powder to the mix.
- Can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make it vegan, ensure the whipped topping used is plant-based or omit it completely.
