Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon water
• 5 gram gelatin
• 150 gram silken tofu (1/2 a block, typically)
• 5 tablespoon cocoa powder, unsweetened
• 5 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup milk (cow milk, soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, e.t.c.)
• Optional ingredients
• 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
• freshly grated zest from 1 orange, or 1/2 teaspoon orange oil
• 1 tablespoon orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier

Instructions

1. Bloom gelatin. Pour water in a microwave-proof bowl, then sprinkle gelatin to bloom. Set aside.
2. Mix espresso with milk. If adding instant espresso powder, heat the milk in a microwave-proof bowl, then stir in instant espresso powder until it dissolves. Set aside.
3. Puree tofu. Place silken tofu, cocoa powder, and sugar in a blender. Puree until smooth.
4. Add liquid. Add milk, orange oil/orange zest (if using), and orange liqueur (if using) to the chocolate and tofu mixture. Blend until evenly mixed.
5. Add gelatin. Microwave the bloomed gelatin from step 1 for 2-3 seconds to dissolve. Add this into the chocolate tofu mixture and pulse to blend evenly.
6. Let the pudding set. Pour the pudding mixture into your favorite molds and let them firm up in the fridge. It usually takes about 1 hour. Serve chill.
