Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 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
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Sugar Syrup: In a small pot, combine the sugar with 3/4 cup of water. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
- Blend the Pudding: In a blender, combine the cooled sugar syrup, silken tofu, melted chocolate, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and chile powder. Purée the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth. Stop the blender occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
- Chill the Pudding: Divide the smooth pudding evenly among 4 to 6 ramekins or serving dishes. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, optionally garnish with chocolate shavings for an extra decorative and flavorful touch.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of chile powder according to your preference for spice.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Silken tofu provides a creamy consistency and is an excellent dairy-free substitute.
- For a smoother texture, ensure the tofu is blended thoroughly.
- This pudding can be prepared a day ahead to enhance flavor; just keep it covered in the refrigerator.
