Description

A creamy, rich, and decadent chocolate pudding made with silken tofu and cocoa powder. This high-protein, gluten-free dessert is ready in under 15 minutes of active time and serves as a perfect post-workout treat or healthy indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

1 block (approx. 12.3 oz or 350g) silken tofu
1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup (120ml) almond milk (or milk of choice)
3–4 tbsp (45-60ml) maple syrup or honey
1 tbsp (16g) almond butter or peanut butter
1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: Dark chocolate chips or shavings for garnish

Instructions

Open the package of silken tofu and drain the excess water. If the tofu feels very watery, gently pat it with a paper towel.
Add the silken tofu, cocoa powder, almond milk, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-speed blender.
Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more maple syrup or almond milk as needed. Blend for another 30 seconds to combine.
Transfer the pudding into serving bowls or jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
Serve chilled, topped with fresh berries, cocoa powder, or dark chocolate chips.

Notes

Ensure you use silken tofu, not firm tofu, for a smooth texture. For a thicker pudding, chill ingredients beforehand. The pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to one month. If using protein powder, add extra liquid to compensate for absorbency.
