Ingredients:

12-14 oz of silken tofu

1/4 cup cacao powder

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 Tbsp tapioca flour

1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Vegan whipped topping (optional)

Directions:

1. Combine and Blend: Begin by adding the silken tofu, cacao powder, brown sugar, tapioca flour, and vanilla extract into a blender or mini food processor. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times to ensure even mixing and achieve a silky texture.

2. Pour and Chill: Once the mixture is thoroughly blended, pour it into individual dessert cups. For the best texture and flavor, chill the pudding in the refrigerator for several hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set perfectly.

If you prefer a warmer dessert, you can also enjoy the pudding at room temperature. Just let it sit for a few minutes after blending before serving.

3. Serve and Enjoy: For an extra touch of indulgence, add a serving of vegan whipped topping on top of each pudding cup before serving. This optional addition elevates the dessert and adds a delightful contrast to the rich, chocolatey pudding.
