Categories     Pie

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (See Note 1)
2 (10 1/2 ounce) packages silken tofu or 2 (10 1/2 ounce) packages silken firm tofu (See Note 2)
3 tablespoons maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener of your choice; can use less, to taste)

Steps:

  • Note 1: vegans: use barley-malt-sweetened nondairy chocolate chips or use a really good vegan chocolate bar (like Rapunzel Organic Bittersweet) instead of some or all of the chips.
  • Note 2: I use the Mori Nu brand of tofu for this (since it's from their box), but you can use any brand, just make sure it is the"silken" type and not regular.
  • Melt choc chips in a double boiler over low heat or in microwave (if you know what you're doing).
  • Put tofu, sweetener, and melted chocolate into a blender and process until very smooth.
  • Pour into a serving bowl or bowls and refrigerate, covered, for at least a couple of hours.
  • Cover this well, because it will pick up EVERY odor in your refrigerator otherwise.

TOFU DREAM PUDDING AND PIE FILLING



Tofu Dream Pudding and Pie Filling image

PLEASE read the notes before trying this recipe. Using the correct product it makes a lovely pudding pie filling. If you are unsure of tofu or have not worked with it or want to try it, please feel free to visit our Vegetarian forum on zaar. You will get some wonderful information

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 5/8 ounces firm silken tofu
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons almond extract, see notes
1/2 cup cocoa powder

Steps:

  • IMPORTANT NOTES ADDED:.
  • The tofu called for here is asceptic tofu NOT waterpacked tofu. One brand is Mori-Nu. AGAIN: It will NOT work with Waterpacked [tofu packed in water] also called cotton. It will NOT work with firm waterpack tofu. The texture and the taste will change because the medium will change. An example of the correct tofu is: http://www.morinu.com/ Please feel free to visit the Vegetarian forum and ask if you aren't sure. We don't bite. Honest but we do have great ways to make stuff taste even better. I host there so you can ask anytime. As to the Almond, add a bit, taste and add more. Don't add all at once. You may need less than we use because brands vary. [Do the same with other flavorings too] Also I have added chocolate extract. It does well with that in place of the Almond.
  • Simply blend your tofu, cocoa, sugar or Splenda, vanilla in a food processor or blender until smooth and well blended.
  • You have pudding. Add to your favorite shell or eat as a pudding. Can be used in parfaits also. Layer pudding, fruit, pudding, fruit. garnish with fruit slices and a mint leaf or two or almond slices.
  • NOTE 24.6 ounces is two standard packages for me. It does seem to "grab" the sweet of sugar to me so I use less. I also find it works very well with Splenda. Those with a sweet tooth may want to tweak that. Simply add the 1/4 and taste. Then add to your taste. Syrups such as honey, maple syrup and Kings Molasses have been used but I personally wasn't pleased with it. However tastes may vary. Also note it MUST BE FIRM SILKEN. IT CANNOT BE WATERPACKED [can be low fat, organic or regular]. Soft is for smoothies and Cotton or waterpacked is for other methods.
  • I never thought to add this. Be careful what cocoa powder you use. The tofu is going to grab the taste. IF it is a chalky type you are going to have chalky tofu pudding. Nothing in the pudding mix will 'hide' that. Remember this has no milk to 'mute' the cocoa taste.

MAPLE TOFU PUDDING



Maple Tofu Pudding image

Most tofu puddings are chocolate, but not this one. Soft tofu makes the best puddings. If you only have firm tofu, you can try to make the recipe with it, but you will need to add a little water (maybe 1/4-cup or so), and blend it for about twice as long. Even then, the pudding may have a slightly grainy texture, although, it will taste just as good. This is a great recipe, especially with walnuts sprinkled on top. The pudding is rich and creamy and very satisfying.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 -14 ounces soft tofu
1/4 cup corn oil
1/3 cup maple syrup or 1/3 cup pancake syrup
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup walnuts (optional) or 1/4 cup black walnut, finely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Drain the tofu and cut it into small pieces.
  • Place the pieces in a blender.
  • Add the oil, maple syrup, salt and vanilla. Put the lid on the blender.
  • Process the mixture for a minute or two, or until the pudding is quite smooth.
  • If necessary, turn off the blender, and scrape down the sides of the blender jar.
  • Then put the lid back on and process some more.
  • When the mixture is smooth, turn it into 4 small, resealable, half-cup containers.
  • Chill until serving time, or serve right away if desired.
  • If you like, you can sprinkle a tablespoon of finely chopped walnuts on top of each serving of pudding.
  • I prefer black walnuts, but any type will do.
