Tofu Pudding

Did you know you can use tofu as a base to make pudding, sauces and dips? Silken tofu is great for creamy and blended foods, like this creamy mocha pudding. It’s made from blending together silken tofu, melted chocolate chips, cocoa powder, coffee powder, and maple syrup.

This recipe is gluten-free and plant-based, and takes only 10 minutes of prep time. It tastes so good with whipped cream and fresh berries. You can keep it fully vegan by serving it with non-dairy whipped cream, and garnish it with some shaved chocolate for an added sweet touch.

Tofu is one of my weekly must-haves when grocery shopping. Its variety and versatility presents endless opportunities to add it to your favorite recipes, and offers high-quality protein and essential nutrients. Plus it’s an easy and affordable way to give your favorite meals a nutritious boost

What you’ll need to make tofu pudding

Here’s what you’ll need to make mocha pudding:

Silken tofu– silken tofu is ideal for this recipe because of its smooth and creamy consistency
Semi-sweet chocolate chips– I love to use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a rich flavor
Unsweetened cocoa powder– unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder add even more chocolate flavor to the pudding
Instant coffee or instant espresso powder– for a classic chocolate pudding, you can leave out the coffee, though I personally think it adds a delicious richness without overpowering the flavor
Maple syrup– to add a light sweetness
Flakey salt– to balance out the flavors

Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30 second increments in the microwave until smooth
Add the tofu to a blender or food processor with the melted chocolate, maple syrup, cocoa powder, coffee powder and pinch of flakey salt. Blend together until smooth
Transfer the pudding to a dish and refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes- the longer it chills the better.
When serving, top with whipped cream, berries and shaved chocolate

My mini food processor is my newest kitchen staple, and I loved using it for this recipe. It’s the perfect size for sauces and dips, and is so easy to clean

This rich and creamy mocha pudding is the perfect dessert to serve at your next summer picnic or fo r an easy weeknight dessert. Made with simple ingredients, ready in minutes, and is seriously so good! I can’t wait for you guys to try it.
