Hear me out, I know tofu in pudding sounds AWFUL, but it really isn't! It lends to a really rich silky texture, and a very happy calorie count- about 120 calories a serving. Not too shabby for fulfilling that chocolate fix. Toss the following in a blender:
- 12 oz of soft silken tofu*
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (I subbed part agave syrup)
- 5 Tbs unsweetened cocoa
- 3 Tbs almond milk (soy works also)
And select one of the following flavor additions:
- 1 banana, in pieces
- 1/2 tsp mint extract
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp orange extract + some orange zest
Notes:
- BUY ORGANIC TOFU. Yes, I have a few soap boxes, and a general aversion to non-organic soy products is one of them. Eating soy in excess can have devastating side effects in-and-of itself, but I am okay with organic soy in small moderation. Non-organic tofu is like 99.99% genetically modified, and riddled with pesticides (soy plants are one of the most pesticide-laden crops) And I'll shut up now.
- You can make just plain chocolate, but the "soy-y" flavor can be more distinguished without the additional flavor component.
Yields 4 servings.
