- 12 to 14 ounces soft tofu
- 1/4 cup corn oil
- 1/3 cup maple or pancake syrup
- Pinch Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
(optional)
Drain the tofu and cut it into small
pieces. Place the pieces in a blender. Add
the oil, maple syrup, salt and vanilla. Put
the lid on the blender. Process the mixture
for a minute or two, or until the pudding is
quite smooth. If necessary, turn off the
blender, and scrape down the sides of the
blender jar. Then put the lid back on and
process some more. When the mixture is
smooth, turn it into 4 small, resealable,
half-cup containers. Chill until serving
time, or serve right away if desired. If you
like, you can sprinkle a tablespoon of
finely chopped walnuts on top of each
serving of pudding. I prefer black walnuts,
but any type will do.
Soft tofu makes the best puddings. If you
only have firm tofu, you can try to make the
recipe with it, but you will need to add a
little water (maybe 1/4-cup or so), and
blend it for about twice as long. Even then,
the pudding may have a slightly grainy
texture, although, it will taste just as
good. This is one of the best recipes on
this website, especially with walnuts
sprinkled on top. The pudding is rich and
creamy and very satisfying.
