Chocolate Tofu Pudding

I used to love pudding. I still think about it – especially when I see those Jell-O commercials proclaiming that every diet needs a little wiggle room. Hello, GFCF people like wiggling too! Of course, I can’t find a pudding that is GFCF that compares to the low-cal, low-fat, low-carb, low-sugar options any normally functioning digestive system can handle.

So I’ve tried doctoring the boxes of fat-free, sugar-free cook & serve Jell-O pudding (only cook and serve is dairy-free argh!!). It just doesn’t really work with soy milk. It even, sadly, says so on the box.

But never one to give up on experiments…I thought I’d try using water and silken tofu instead of soy milk and then bake it. (Note – I only had a box of vanilla in the pantry, which is why I added cocoa…but I’m a chocoholic so I’d probably add cocoa to chocolate anyway LOL)
