Chocolate Tofu Pudding

 
Alright, I’ve seen these recipes for pudding made with tofu for soooooo long and have always been too scared to try them.  I don’t really know why.  There’s nothing in them that I dislike.  It just has kind of freaked me out a bit.
 
But I decided it’s finally time.  And although many of you may not have shared my fear, I’m sure tofu pudding is new to some of you.  So I’m making a recipe review of it.
 
Nope, not trying my own hand at something I’ve never made before and am a bit afraid of.
 
So I’m using Neal Barnard’s recipe from Breaking the Food Seduction (a fantastic book, by the way!).
 
serves 2
1 12-oz container firm silken tofu
1/4 C brown sugar
1/3 C cocoa or carob powder
2 t vanilla extract
 
 
Blend everything together in a food processor until very smooth.  Refrigerate until chilled. 
 
The verdict?  I’m a moron.  
 
Yes, that’s the verdict.
 
 
When I see something repeatedly on all my favorite blogs and in basically every vegan or health food cookbook I own and love . . . there’s a reason.  It’s amazing.  My fear is totally unfounded.
 
So delicious!!! There is nothing scary about this pudding at all.  It is creamy, chocolately (or carob-y like I made it), refreshing, and delicious.  And made with tofu!!!
 
 
Plus, I can totally justify eating this for breakfast.  Mmmm with some fresh strawberries and blueberries on top!  Score.
