I love this pudding, it’s has a deep rich chocolate flavor thanks to a secret ingredient and if you have a food processor or blender it couldn’t be easier to make this vegan pudding. Did I mention if was high in protein? How can you get 7 grams of protein per serving? From tofu of course, but trust me no one will ever know! I make this all the time and no one ever guesses there’s tofu in this. Just a few simple clean ingredients, whirlaway, chill and done!
- Silken Tofu- Firm and in tetra box is best 12.3 oz. I find using fresh tofu gives it a different flavor that why the tofu in the tetra box or shelf stable is important.
- Cacao powder or cocoa powder- just remember cacao powder can be more bitter and more expensive but has more nutrients retained
- maple syrup- I like Canadian maple syrup and I get mine from Costco. It’s a good quality. The amount you use will depend on if you used cocoa powder or cacao powder.
- Instant coffee is the secret ingredient that help intensifies the chocolate flavor. If you are making for children than omit or if you are sensitive to caffeine.
- Salt- don’t forget a pinch of salt which also helps with the flavor
