Ingredients

16 ounces extra firm tofu torn into large chunks; see notes for soy-free option
26-28 ounces non-dairy milk I like unsweetened soy milk
70 g pitted medjool dates about 4 large dates
160 g chocolate protein powder
120 g dark chocolate chips
pinch of salt optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a high speed blender, add chunks of tofu, 26 ounces milk, pitted dates, and chocolate protein powder. Blend until smooth. If your blender is having a hard time, feel free to add milk as needed (about 2 ounces at a time) to help get things moving.
Add chocolate chips to a small bowl. Place bowl in a large pot filled with about 1-inch of water. Warm pot over medium low heat, until water begins to simmer. Stir the chocolate chips as they begin to melt, until completely smooth. Alternatively, you can microwave the bowl of chocolate chips for about 10-15 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until they are entirely melted.
To the blender, add the melted chocolate. Blend until smooth. Using a spatula, scrape down any unblended portions along the edges. Blend again, until combined. Taste test to see if you prefer a bit of salt, or more sweetener and adjust accordingly.The mixture should be thick and creamy, but pourable.
Transfer the pudding mixture to a large sealed container. Refrigerate for several hours, or until it has firmed and set. Serve with coconut whipped cream and/or desired toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

Soy-free Option: You can use fava bean tofu (and pea milk) to make a soy-free pudding. Because the fava tofu block is smaller in size, you can reduce the milk to 24 ounces and increase the protein powder to 170g. If you'd like to make it lower in sugar, feel free to reduce the amount of dates as well. I use about 60g of dates when I make the fava tofu version.
