What you will need

- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Place the vegan dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 2: Blend the Base
Drain the silken tofu and add it to a blender along with the melted chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and sea salt.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed for about 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and no tofu lumps remain.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Pour the pudding into individual serving cups and refrigerate for at least one hour until set. Serve cold with optional toppings like berries or coconut whip.
