Recipe: Chocolate Tofu Pudding (sugar free/oil free/gluten free)

Silky & super chocolatey, this pudding makes a great healthy snack or dessert option and is very simple to make. I usually find I get 1-2 servings out of this. I like to serve it layered with crushed frozen berries, cacao nibs & buckwheat but the possibilities for this are endless!

Ingredients:

• 1 x 297g block Morinaga Silken Firm Tofu (you can find this at most NZ supermarkets on the shelf in the international section)
• 1/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder
• 2 TBSP Natvia Natural Sweetener (Adjust to your taste. You can substitute with date paste, or any sweetener such as: maple syrup, coconut sugar or agave nectar)
• 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp instant coffee
• Pinch of salt

Method:
Place all ingredients into a small blender attachment and blend until smooth, scraping the sides down as needed. The mixture can be eaten immediately or refrigerated to set further.

*For a delicious variation, try adding in some natural peppermint extract or orange juice/zest to taste!
