In a small pot combine:
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c water
Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Place in a glass container:
8 oz bittersweet chocolate (the better the quality, the better the pudding)
Microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Do not overcook, chocolate will burn in the microwave!
Put the sugar water mix and chocolate a blender or the bowl of a food processor and add:
16 oz silken tofu
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t chipolte chili powder
1 t vanilla
Puree until smooth. Divide among 6 ramekins (about 4.5 oz in each) and chill for at least an hour. Before serving (or before chilling), garnish with
chocolate shavings
(A chocolate bar works, but a block of chocolate would provide longer chocolate curls.)
November 2022: First Stonyfield Farm went from nonfat frozen yogurt to whole milk frozen yogurt, now they have stopped production of our go-to dessert. After failing to find a good commercially produced alternative, I've found this is a good replacement. However, since it is not a special occasion dessert,I've modified the recipe:
6 oz bittersweet chocolate
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c water
16 oz silken tofu
1 t vanilla or almond extract
Follow the original instructions. I pour the sugar water mixture into the glass measuring cup I melted the chocolate in (after putting chocolate in the food processor) to get the last of the chocolate out.
I often put in the freezer (in a covered container) to chill for an hour before eating then top with a few chocolate chunks (chips) or a few fresh or (mostly thawed) frozen raspberries.
This pudding though a tad higher in saturated fat, due to the large amount of chocolate, has no sodium or cholesterol, much less sugar (2 t per serving). and fewer calories than the frozen yogurt.
