How to Make Mexican Chocolate Tofu Pudding

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. While the syrup cools, melt 4 ounces of good quality dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher) in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  4. In a high-speed blender, combine the cooled sugar syrup, 14 ounces (one block) of silken tofu, the melted chocolate, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder.
  5. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. Divide the pudding evenly among 4-6 ramekins or small bowls.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set and the flavors to meld.
  8. Garnish with freshly grated dark chocolate, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a pinch of chili powder before serving.
