Silken Tofu Chocolate Pudding
I'm getting known around this house for sneaking healthy ingredients into seemingly unfitting places; sauces, soups, baked goods...I get a real pleasure out of making something delicious using ingredients that the kids wouldn't expect, and then waiting for them to announce that the food is, in fact, delicious, and then I unveil what magical ingredient it was made with. I can't tell you how much entertainment I get out of this game.
Well this dessert is no exception to this. Full of sneaky silken tofu, it's a chocolate pudding you wouldn't even suspect is chock full of plant-based protein.
There's nothing fancy going on here, and you've probably already seen this basic recipe before. But let me just be here to qualify that this dessert is really as good as they say. It's delicious, nutritious, and totally guilt-free. Everyone wins! The recipe is below, but you can also find it on our blog (link in profile) or you can get a nifty PDF version if you comment tofu.
Go forth and be sneaky!
