Thick Dark Chocolate Pudding

Thanks for sharing all such lovely and easy recipes. Even thought I'm not vegan I love trying out your recipes. Can you share a substitute for Tofu in this recipe (if it's possible of course)?

Hey Gini, thanks for sharing the kind words! We haven't personally tested out something else, so we can't say for sure what might work with success. Perhaps this recipe is an idea to try instead: https://www.pickuplimes.com/r… 😊

I made this tonight and it did not disappoint! Mine turned out a bit more "dense mousse-like" than pudding, but I did use the whole of my container of tofu and bag of chocolate chips (otherwise I would have had a small amount of each leftover), and did add a big splash of plant milk as suggested. It firmed up when chilled, but OH! It made it so decadent with a dollop of coconut whipped topping & raspberries! Working on becoming more plant based, and PUL makes it a delicious undertaking! Thank you!

Only told my BF it contained tofu after he tried it... he was positively surprised :D it tastes delicious! I also spread some on toast this morning, it was a decadent breakfast hehe. Thank you PUL!

Made this pudding today! It was really delicious :) But after reading the comments below I am going to try it next time with a splash of plant milk to make it a little less dens. Or make a crumble cooky bottom and on top this mouth watering pudding! Thank you PUL team for again another great recipe!!

This dessert is delicious! Just wondering if there is a way to obtain a lighter consistency, as the texture is slightly too thick to our taste. I was thinking to reduce the amount of chocolate, but worrying that it might affect the flavour as well. Any recommendations?

Hey there, Ana, thanks for the kind words and question! You could opt to add a touch less of the chocolate or tofu. Alternatively, you could also thin it out with a splash of unsweetened plant milk, such as almond or coconut 🙂

Hi, I am from a country where maple syrup isn't a thing. I would only buy and use it for this one recipe, so I wanted to ask if the aroma is necessary or if I could substitute it with anything. Would the taste be significantly worse if I substituted it? Thanks in advance :)

Hi there, Karin, that's a lovely question. The maple syrup helps give the mousse a delicious sweetness with a touch of stickiness. You could substitute it for another more accessible syrup if desired for a similar end result. Alternatively, you could experiment with omitting the syrup and adding sugar to taste, although we haven't had a chance to test this out recently. Do let us know how it goes if you give the recipe a try 😃

Thank you!
I tried it with brown sugar, agave syrup and maple syrup and all three turned out great. The mousse was less stiff when I used brown sugar, but I made this quite often now and I found out that you can just add water if you want a more liquid consistency. It was the first plant-based dessert my family tried and they were convinced :)

Thank you for the insight, Karin, it's so appreciated! Glad the dessert was enjoyed 🙂

Hi Sadia,

this mousse is SOOOO good!
I've already made it a few times and it's become one of my go to recipes if I need a vegan dessert.
So thank you so much for making it much easier becoming vegan with your recipes <3

One thing I crave when vegan is creamy chocolate sweets. This hits the mark for me. Yummo

OMG! This mousse is something else…it’s the best mousse au chocolat which I've ever eaten! And not only in vegan, compared to any (dairy) mousse as well! I bought the Magimix 5200 from your recommendations and I believe your recipe AND the food processor are the winning team for this perfect outcome … because of the food processor the texture becomes so unbelievably creamy and smooth!
I used a mix of dark chocolate and vegan rice milk chocolate and cashew butter instead of the almond butter. I adore this ! Thanks so much!

We're so thrilled you've been enjoying the food processor and recipes, Elisa! Thank you for sharing :D
