Notes
- Choose the Right Tofu: We tested this recipe 6 times with different brands of tofus and decided that most brands of silken (or soft) tofu in your grocery store will produce silky smooth pudding. Avoid using regular firm tofu as it won't blend as smoothly.
- Adjust Cocoa Powder: You can use more or less cocoa than the amount calls for in the recipe, but 1/3 cup seemed to produce a perfectly chocolatey pudding that wasn’t too light or too rich for us.
- Adjust Sweetness Gradually: Start with the recommended amount of sweetener and adjust gradually to suit your taste. Remember, you can always add more but can't take it out once added.
- Blend Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are well-blended to avoid any lumps. Scraping down the sides of the food processor helps in achieving a uniform consistency.
- Make Ahead: This pudding is perfect for making ahead of time, in fact, sometimes letting it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours allows the flavors to marry better!
