Why you’ll love this recipe
You’re going to love this recipe because it satisfies your sweet tooth, made with minimal ingredients, packed with protein and is the perfect healthy treat that takes about five minutes to make! Impress a loved one with this vegan chocolate tofu pudding.
As a bonus, tofu is an excellent low-carb, high-protein food, and is also a great source of calcium and iron. The only thing better than thick and creamy chocolate pudding is a thick and creamy chocolate pudding that also happens to be protein-packed, full of fiber and calcium, vegan and gluten free. You can even have this chocolate tofu pudding as a post-workout snack! 😋
To make this chocolate protein pudding you will need
- Semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
- 1 12-oz block of silken tofu
- 1 cup of coconut cream
- ¼ cup of vegan cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- ½ tbsp salt
How to make chocolate tofu pudding
Using your microwave or the double-boiler method on your stove, melt the chocolate chips. Set aside.
In a blender or food processor, add all your other ingredients.
Then pour the melted chocolate in.
Blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary and adding a splash of plant-based milk if your machine has trouble blending.
Portion the pudding out into cups or jars and enjoy right away or chill for an hour or more before enjoying. The pudding will thicken up as it chills and will develop a nice thick mousse texture.
Meal prepping & storing
Protein pudding tastes best when it’s freshly made, so I do recommend making these the day of if possible. If you would like to meal prep them, these last 3 days in the fridge. Just grab one when you’re ready to serve, and add the toppings!
This pudding makes a perfect healthy dessert, snack, or breakfast, so go get blending!
