Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 14 ounce silken tofu
  • 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (see note)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (20g)
  • 4-5 soft medjool dates (see note)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk (optional for a looser texture if desired)

Instructions 

  • Melt the chocolate:
    Microwave method: Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
    Stovetop method: Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a small pot of gently simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water). Stir until melted and smooth.Set the melted chocolate aside to cool slightly.
  • Blend Until Smooth: In a blender or food processor, combine silken tofu, cocoa powder, melted chocolate, dates, and vanilla. Blend until completely smooth.
  • Adjust Consistency: If too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time and blend until creamy.
  • Chill and serve: Scoop the pudding into bowls or jars. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up a little.
  • Optional toppings: Top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, mini chocolate chips, or a dollop of whipped cream for extra fun.

Notes

  • Use your favorite chocolate bar or chocolate chips. You can also leave it out entirely and add more dates for extra sweetness.
  • Dates - be sure to soak in warm water for at least 10 minutes if they're dry.  You can also swap with maple syrup (start with 2 tablespoons and add more to taste).
  • Melt the chocolate gently. Whether you're using the microwave or stovetop, take it slow and stir often. Chocolate can burn easily if overheated.
  • After melting, let the chocolate sit for a minute or two before blending. Adding it too hot can make the tofu seize and affect the texture.
  • Chill before serving! It’s tasty right away, but chilling for at least 30 minutes helps it set and brings out the rich chocolate flavor.
