Serves: 8 (1/2 cup each)
Preparation Time: less than 15 minutes
Adapted from original source!
Ingredients:
1 block of tofu
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions:
1. Blend tofu in blender or food processor until smooth
2. Transfer to a pot. Add chocolate chips. Heat over medium heat until chocolate chips are melted. Stir constantly.
3. Remove from heat. Add in maple syrup.
4. Transfer to individual dishes and allow to cool. Serve room temp OR refrigerate and serve cool. You choose!
Of note:
I used a one speed blender instead of a food processor. The end result is tofu that is not as smooth as when a food processor is used; however, if you dont have a food processor than a blender suffices! '

Okay. Okay. Not what I would call low calorie by any means but all foods in moderation! The tofu provides a thick, creamy texture and the chocolate provides the typical chocolate dessert richness. All in all, a half cup is more than plenty! And you get more protein than if you were consuming cow's milk based chocolate pudding! :) In the end, however, if you want a healthier option (meaning lower calorie), just reduce the portion of chocolate chips used. Start with a half cup and taste product. Increase up to 3/4 cup. (You save 35-70 calories per 1/2 cup with a reduction of 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup chocolate chips in entire batch!)
