How to Make Banana Date Tofu Pudding

Press 1 block (14oz) firm or extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. Wrap in paper towels and place a heavy object on top for 10 minutes.
Peel and chop 2 ripe bananas into chunks.
Remove pits from 6 Medjool dates and roughly chop them.
Cut the pressed tofu into small cubes.
Combine the tofu cubes, banana chunks, chopped dates, 1 tablespoon corn oil, ½ cup water or soy milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a high-speed blender.
Blend for 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until completely smooth with small date flecks remaining.
Pour the pudding into 4 small (½ cup) resealable containers or a large bowl. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
