Chocolate Pudding

prep time:: 10 min
total time:: 15 min

Serves 4

This “pudding” has the texture of a mousse without the eggs. I’ve experimented with different extracts to change the flavor.

ingredients

1 1/2 C. Rice Milk
1 tbsp cinnamon (I also add nutmeg)
1/4 C Agave Nectar
1 tsp. orange extract
big pinch of cayenne
pinch black pepper
12.3 oz Silken Tofu
1 C. Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Berries

directions

1
Boil rice milk and cinnamon and/or (nutmeg)until reduced to 1/2 C.
2
Pour hot liquid over Chocolate chips and let them sit for about 2 minutes to melt.
3
Puree tofu in blender/ food processor add agave, extract, and melted chocolate and blend well. Transfer to bowl and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Top with fresh berries when serving.

notes

The cayenne and pepper bring heat to the dish. Variation: use peppermint extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom can also use coconut milk and cocoa powder instead of chips
