I took my sweet time posting this recipe because I wanted it to be perfect. I wasn’t looking for anything fancy.
My criteria were the following:
- quick
- low on sugar
- no fake sugar
- dessert worthy
- chocolate
- substantial
In other words, I wanted something that I could whip up with ease, that would satisfy my sweet tooth, without excess sugar. However, I wanted it to be made of real ingredients so it would both hold me over and offer something nutritionally.
Perfect puddin’ (v, gf)
Ingredients:
- 7 oz. soft tofu (1/2 block)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
Directions:
Pulse everything together in magic bullet/food processor/whatever.
Serve.
Voila! Vegan chocolate pudding that could stand up to almost any other dessert.
*Chilling the pudding in the fridge for a while before eating is definitely advised, but not necessary.
Does anyone else associate Bill Cosby with chocolate pudding? Just me?
That’s just you 😉 hehe! xyx
ps: looks yum 🙂
Is it wrong to eat pudding fro breakfast? Can’t be…I’m off to make this right now!
It is wrong to post comments though before proofreading…oops “fro”=”for” 🙂
Elise it looks great! Smooth and perfect but I but the ‘fu makes it more ‘hearty’ so it doesnt feel like you’re eating air and actually are satisfied for awhile. YUM!
This looks soo good! and simple too!
Sounds so good! Unfortunately the only ingredient I have here on hand is the cocoa powder 🙂
This sounds fabulous! I could totally use this to satisfy my sweet tooth! 🙂
OH my goodness, yummo. I don’t think I could wait for this to chill in the fridge before eating it though 🙂
Looks great! And I have all of the ingredients! Thanks!
Haha. Bill Cosby absolutely = chocolate pudding. Brings back memories… 🙂
Haha! Bill Cosby will always be the pudding king in my book! This looks great! Gotta get some soft tofu and get on this!
Ever made chocolate pudding with avocado? My friend Signa shared this recipe and it yummy too. One ripe avocado, 3T cocoa powder, one ripe banana, 2T honey. Whip and blend it all together in a food processor or blender. I use my little cuisinart blender. Then I sprinkle walnuts on it. Perfect!
hi,
will you please let me know the calorics for the pudding?
thanks
Mmmmm yum! I’ve made chocolate chia pudding, but the addition of maple syrup sounds awesome!
yum! I’ve been meaning to grab cocoa powder forever now for smoothies… this might be the kick that I needed to go get some. 🙂

Hi Elise, just wondering how many serves this is? I was thinking of having it as one of the desserts on the table over Christmas. Also, how long in advance can this be made? Thank you.
for me, it was a one person serving 🙂
