Ingredients
Scale
For the Pudding
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 pound silken tofu
- 8 ounces high-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon chile powder, or more to taste
For Garnish (Optional)
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Make Sugar Syrup: In a small pot, combine the sugar with 3/4 cup water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, add the slightly cooled sugar syrup, silken tofu, melted chocolate, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and chile powder. Purée the mixture until completely smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even blending.
- Chill the Pudding: Divide the smooth pudding evenly among 4 to 6 ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve with Garnish: Before serving, optionally top the pudding with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
Notes
- You can adjust the chile powder quantity to your preferred level of spiciness.
- Use good quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate to achieve a rich and deep chocolate flavor.
- The pudding needs at least 30 minutes chilling but can be refrigerated longer for a firmer texture.
- Silken tofu provides the creamy texture while keeping the pudding vegan and dairy-free.
- Chocolate shavings add a nice decorative element but are optional.
