IMPORTANT NOTES ADDED:.2
The tofu called for here is asceptic tofu NOT waterpacked tofu. One brand is Mori-Nu. AGAIN: It will NOT work with Waterpacked [tofu packed in water] also called cotton. It will NOT work with firm waterpack tofu. The texture and the taste will change because the medium will change. An example of the correct tofu is: http://www.morinu.com/ Please feel free to visit the Vegetarian forum and ask if you aren't sure. We don't bite. Honest but we do have great ways to make stuff taste even better. I host there so you can ask anytime. As to the Almond, add a bit, taste and add more. Don't add all at once. You may need less than we use because brands vary. [Do the same with other flavorings too] Also I have added chocolate extract. It does well with that in place of the Almond.3
Simply blend your tofu, cocoa, sugar or Splenda, vanilla in a food processor or blender until smooth and well blended.4
You have pudding. Add to your favorite shell or eat as a pudding. Can be used in parfaits also. Layer pudding, fruit, pudding, fruit. garnish with fruit slices and a mint leaf or two or almond slices.5
NOTE 24.6 ounces is two standard packages for me. It does seem to "grab" the sweet of sugar to me so I use less. I also find it works very well with Splenda. Those with a sweet tooth may want to tweak that. Simply add the 1/4 and taste. Then add to your taste. Syrups such as honey, maple syrup and Kings Molasses have been used but I personally wasn't pleased with it. However tastes may vary. Also note it MUST BE FIRM SILKEN. IT CANNOT BE WATERPACKED [can be low fat, organic or regular]. Soft is for smoothies and Cotton or waterpacked is for other methods.6
I never thought to add this. Be careful what cocoa powder you use. The tofu is going to grab the taste. IF it is a chalky type you are going to have chalky tofu pudding. Nothing in the pudding mix will 'hide' that. Remember this has no milk to 'mute' the cocoa taste.

Okay, I confess I just ate chocolate pudding topped with raspberries for lunch--and I don't even feel guilty about it. I wasn't planning on making a lunch out of this, but man, this stuff is good! It's also a treat that I feel good serving the kids. I've made other recipes for tofu pudding and tofu cheesecake, but most of them still retain a noticeable "earthy" flavor from the tofu. I think it may be the almond extract in this recipe that really helps with this. I plan on making this often.

This is a simple and delicious recipe for pudding. I used Splenda with great success. It will help get me get some protein in without having to eat meat and and worry about fats. Anyone having problems finding the correct tofu...mori-nu is NOT in the refrigerated section with all the other tofu. It is kept room temperature and comes in a small box. Most stores put it in the organic/health food section of the store. It doesn't seem to age well (I am on day 3), so try to eat it quickly or serve to family. I am just one. Next time I'll make a half batch.

This stuff is friggin' oustanding!! I'll never eat any other pudding again! And it's so easy...I used Splenda in place of sugar. I've tried this several times and found that substituting the cocoa powder with carob powder worked well, as did adding 2 tsp. peanut butter. I've also made vanilla pudding out of this by nixing the cocoa powder and upping the vanilla extract and sweetener...delish!

Beautiful creamy texture, and extremely quick and easy to make in the food processor. I used Splenda sugar blend then added a some real sugar to taste. I was out of almond extract and used a bit of mint extract instead. I wasn't happy with the mint flavor, and will make the recipe as directed when I have almond extract. I think this will fool my husband into thinking it's regular pudding and not tofu. As much as I like chocolate, I'd also want to try substituting fresh berries. UPDATE: Finally made the recipe as directed, and it was great. I used slightly less cocoa powder. It's very good with almond extract, but I've also made it with banana extract — I think I like that best. Thanks!
