It is picnic desserts week, and last week, for Vegan MoFo! I hope the daily posts on Instagram and the round-ups here on the blog have inspired you to track down a great picnic spot and have a relaxing meal. Even though the month is coming to an end, I will continue posting about all things picnics on VeganPicnics.

Vegan Chocolate Pudding

Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz box shelf-stable of soft or firm silken tofu (see note)
  • 6 - 7 dates pitted
  • ½ cup chocolate chips melted

Instructions

  • Start by adding the dates and tofu (entire box) and the pitted dates to a blender. Start the blender on low to start breaking down the dates and making the tofu creamy. Increase the speed to high and blend until the dates are completely broken down. It is ok if there are still small flecks of dates.
  • Next, melt the chocolate chips either over a double boiler or in the microwave. If you use a double boiler, make sure not to let the water touch the bottom of the pot/bowl that has the chocolate chips. It will cause the chocolate to seize. If using a microwave, slowly melt them by repeatedly heating for a few seconds and then stirring. This ensures the chocolate won’t burn or seize. I usually set the microwave power to 70% when melting chocolate chips.
  • Once the chocolate chips are melted, carefully add it to the blender with the blended dates and tofu. Blend once again, starting off slow and then increasing the speed until everything is combined. It usually only takes about 10 seconds.
  • Scoop the mixture into a sealable bowl and refrigerate for a few hours until set and chilled.

Notes

​This would be great with vegan white chocolate chips or vegan peanut butter chips!
Note - I have tried extra firm, firm, and soft silken tofu. The extra firm worked, but it was really stiff - it might make an excellent ganache frosting! Both firm and soft silken tofu do well. It is your preference on it would want it a little more soft or firm. The soft silken tofu was really easy to blend.
