Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 14 ounces (396 grams) soft silken tofu
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup agave nectar, maple syrup, or honey
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a high-powered blender, combine silken tofu, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until a velvety, uniform mixture develops.
- Pause the blending process and use a spatula to sweep down the container’s sides, ensuring no dry pockets of cocoa remain unincorporated.
- Resume blending for an additional 30-45 seconds to guarantee a consistently smooth and glossy chocolate pudding texture.
- For a firmer, more mousse-like consistency, transfer the pudding into individual serving ramekins or a central serving bowl.
- Refrigerate the pudding for a minimum of one hour, allowing the mixture to set and develop a rich, chilled profile.
- Prior to serving, optionally garnish with fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, or a light dusting of cocoa powder to enhance visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- The pudding can be stored in a sealed container within the refrigerator for up to three days, maintaining its creamy, decadent character.
Notes
- Choose silken tofu for the smoothest, most velvety pudding texture that blends seamlessly.
- Adjust sweetness levels by gradually adding maple syrup or honey, tasting as you go to achieve your perfect balance.
- Experiment with flavor variations like adding espresso powder, orange zest, or cinnamon for a personalized twist on the classic dessert.
- Opt for dairy-free dark chocolate to make this recipe completely vegan-friendly, ensuring a rich and indulgent treat for everyone.
