Chocolate Tofu Pudding and/or Chocolate Truffle
I still remember watching Alton Brown’s Food Network show titled “Tofuworld,” detailing all the fun things you can do with Tofu. This episode had four recipes: Tall & Tangy Thangy, Fillet O’Fu, No Guilt Caesar (which I do want to try) and my favorite Moo-Less Chocolate Pudding.
I didn’t make the recipe as detailed by Alton Brown as I didn’t use vanilla or place in a crumb crust.
Chocolate Tofu Pudding and/or Chocolate Truffles.
- 24.6 oz Silken Tofu (non GMO)
- 20 oz Dark Chocolate
- 1.3 Tbsp Honey
- 0.5 cup Amaretto Liquor (almond)
- Gently melt Chocolate in double boiler,
- add honey and the Almond Amaretto liquor ~ stir until well blended.
- Place drained Silken Tofu in food processor, add chocolate mix.
- Puree until well blended, stopping machine to scrape sides of bowl when needed.
- Place approximately 1/2 cup into 6 pudding into 6 serving bowls, refrigerate.
- To make Truffles:
- Once chilled; take the unused portion of mix out of the refrigerator.
- Using two spoons, put a golf ball sized portion into a bowl of chopped nuts.
- Holding the bowl, roll the golf ball sized ball around in nuts,
- Once covered, you can pick up and roll into a ball
- Return rolled truffles to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
I see you have two kinds of chocolate. Are either of them sweetened? Could I use powder instead?… What specific kinds did you use?
Laurie, I used dark chocolate, the reason for two kinds is due to me not having enough of one type. I used unsweetened dark chocolate, you can try powered chocolate, let me know how that works out. The only concern might be that the powered chocolate wouldn’t help firm it up the same as the bars. The recipe is for a double batch, feel free to cut it in half.
This kind of pudding is really different..i want to try it..Thanks for sharing this to us..
I was surprised to find that my picky eater family really loves it!!
I made them with 1 full oz of almond flavoring, but that was way too much. I think the amaretto affect w the alcohol is apt to be why you add any flavor. So far dh likes the pudding… waiting for it to chill to make it easier to roll into balls. (Also I used 2T valhrona cocoa powder to add to the truffle taste and that seemed to work well. It may have made it less sweet though.
Sorry about the flavoring coming out too strong, I should have suggested trying it a bit at a time until you got it to the level you enjoyed. If it is too bitter you could add a bit more honey to round out the flavor.
