This vegan protein pudding made with cashews and silken tofu makes the most incredible chocolate dessert. It's high in protein, nutritious, and actually good for you.
Melt the dark chocolate in a double-boiler, on the stove over low heat, or in the microwave at 30-second intervals.
Blend the silken tofu with the cashews, cocoa powder, soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt (see step-by-step pictures).
Combine. Add the blended tofu mixture to the melted chocolate. Give it a good stir.
Transfer the chocolate pudding to individual ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Choose high-quality chocolate for the best results.
Use a food processor if you don’t have a blender.
Let it sit overnight. The texture is even better the next day.
Toppings: cacao nibs, fresh fruit, or fresh berries
Storage: This vegan protein pudding can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. As long as it is in a sealed container, it will stay fresh for a long time.
