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

Directions

Step 1

Drain the silken tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel. Set it aside.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, add the dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Taste the pudding and adjust the sweetness or spice level to your preference by adding more maple syrup or cayenne pepper, if desired.

Step 7

Divide the pudding evenly into serving bowls or glasses.

Step 8

Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set the pudding.

Step 9

Serve cold. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dollop of coconut whipped cream, or a few chocolate shavings for a decorative touch.
