VEGAN CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH CINNAMON AND CHILE



Vegan Chocolate Pudding With Cinnamon and Chile image

Tofu is not solely the stuff of stir-fries. For example, I can almost guarantee you will be impressed by this dessert, a pudding that takes about as much time to make as hot chocolate. But there are a few qualifiers. Without chocolate, the flavor is unimpressive; it tastes like sweetened tofu. Add chocolate and a few Mexican spices, however, and you have a real winner. And certainly no one I've fed it to had any inkling that it was dairy free. The texture of the pudding, which must be made with silken tofu, is almost unbelievably good. The brand of chocolate you buy is of utmost importance. Without mentioning names, let me just suggest that you use the highest quality chocolate - semisweet or bittersweet, please - you can lay your hands on. After all, it's the flavor of the chocolate, not of the tofu, that will dominate.

SILKY CHOCOLATE PUDDING (VEGAN)

I got this recipe at a class I am taking at Whole Foods. Make sure the family does not see you making it - they will never guess it is healthy. It is really tasty. We estimated 8 1/2-cup servings, but be prepared to be asked for seconds. Prep time does not include chilling time.

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup pitted dates, packed
2 1/2 cups almond milk or 2 1/2 cups coconut milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 ripe avocado
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In a blender, pour the hot water over the dates and let them stand 10-15 minutes or so to soften. (you can use a hot non-dairy milk, but it tasted just great using only water).
  • After they have soaked, add the flesh of the avocado and all remaining ingredients. Blend on high, scraping down sides as necessary, until smooth.
  • You can eat it warm, but it tastes best if you can refrigerate it for 2 to 3 hours in an airtight container. Nice with raspberries on top. You can also freeze to make fudgiscles, we were told.
