Ingredients
Scale
For the Pudding
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 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
For Garnish (Optional)
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Make Simple Syrup: In a small pot, combine the sugar and 3/4 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally. Once dissolved, remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the silken tofu, cooled sugar syrup, melted chocolate, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and chile powder into a blender. Purée the mixture until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
- Chill the Pudding: Pour the smooth pudding mixture evenly into 4 to 6 ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, optionally garnish each pudding with chocolate shavings for added texture and decoration. Serve chilled.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of chile powder to taste for more or less spiciness.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Silken tofu works best to give the pudding its creamy, smooth consistency.
- For a nuttier flavor, try adding a pinch of ground nutmeg along with cinnamon.
- This pudding can be made a day ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
