Silken tofu is one of my favorite ingredients! Due to its creamy, rich texture and mild flavor, it can be used to make a variety of sauces (such as my tofu mayo and vegan sour cream), tofu smoothies, and even desserts like this tofu chocolate pudding.
Unlike traditional pudding, which requires a long list of ingredients and cooking, this recipe only requires 5 ingredients, and it is a no-cook recipe made in the blender.

🍫What you will need
📃Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Silken tofu - I highly recommend using the shelf-stable extra-firm or firm silken tofu. However, regular refrigerated silken tofu will also work!
- Dark chocolate - Feel free to use chocolate bars, chips, or chunks. Choose a percentage and sweetness you like. I love using Lindt 85% cocoa.
- Cocoa powder - A high-quality cocoa powder makes a huge difference! This Ghirardelli cocoa powder is one of my go-to.
- Maple syrup - can be substituted with other sweeteners, such as agave syrup or coconut nectar. You could also use a few drops of stevia or leave it out completely to make this recipe lower in sugar.
- Instant coffee - Optional, helps enhance the richness of the chocolate and cocoa. Use decaf or omit to make this recipe caffeine-free.
🔪How to make
- Step 1: Melt your chocolate in the microwave or using the double boiler method.
- Step 2: Add all ingredients into a blender or food processor. You can also blend it using an immersion blender.
- Step 3: Blend until smooth, and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Step 4: Transfer tofu pudding into glass jars or 4 oz ramekins. Let them chill for at least an hour before serving!
💡Tip
The pudding will appear watery after blending but thicken after chilling in the fridge.
🫐Topping ideas
Here are some fun toppings to jazz up your tofu chocolate pudding:
- Vegan whipped cream
- Chocolate chips or shaved chocolate
- Berries - fresh or frozen
- Chopped nuts such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts
- Shredded coconut or coconut flakes
❔Commonly asked questions
Soft tofu has the same consistency as silken tofu but is much coarser in texture. When blended, expect a slightly grainy texture, especially if you are not using a high-speed food processor or blender.
Silken tofu, like all other kinds of tofu, is safe to eat straight out of the package.
You do not need to press silken tofu before using it. However, as it is incredibly delicate, pressing will cause silken tofu to break apart.
Freshly made pudding will be on the runnier side. After chilling for an hour or so, tofu pudding will thicken up and resemble the texture of regular pudding.
