Ingredients

180 g silken tofu
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup or vegan condensed milk
1/2 cup strawberries (frozen or fresh)
Optional toppings: hemp seeds, pecans

Equipment

Blender

Instructions

Combine silken tofu, vanilla extract, maple syrup (or vegan condensed milk), and strawberries in a blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a tiny splash of plant-based milk (like almond milk or soy milk) to achieve your desired consistency.
Pour the pudding into a bowl or serving dish.
Top with optional hemp seeds and pecans for added crunch and nutrition.
Serve immediately for a softer consistency, or chill for a thicker, more traditional pudding texture.

Variations & Adaptations

Flavor Boosts: Easily customize the flavor! Swap strawberries for other berries like blackberries or raspberries, or try a tropical twist with mango. For a rich dessert, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to create a chocolate tofu pudding.
Sweetener Options: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your sweetness preference, or use agave syrup or your favorite vegan sweetener.
Dessert Delight: Transform this breakfast into a decadent dessert by layering it with vegan granola, fresh fruit, or a dollop of vegan whipped cream.

Tips for Success

Chilling is Key: For the best pudding consistency, chill for at least 30 minutes. The texture becomes noticeably thicker and more satisfying, especially when made with frozen strawberries.
Frozen vs. Fresh Strawberries: While fresh strawberries work beautifully, frozen ones provide a naturally colder base and contribute to a thicker pudding without needing added ice. If using fresh, consider adding a few ice cubes to the blender for extra chill and thickness.
Silken Tofu Matters: Ensure you use silken tofu, not firm or extra-firm tofu, for that wonderfully smooth, creamy, and custard-like texture. It's the secret to this pudding's delightful mouthfeel.
