Ingredients:
- 1 (16 ounce) package (454g) Nasoya silken tofu, drained
- 1 scoop (30g) “Optimum Nutrition” Gold Standard chocolate whey protein powder
- 2 tablespoons (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (80g) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon (5g) vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 full sheet (15.5g) “Honey Maid” chocolate graham cracker (crushed into fine crumbs)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (6g) sprinkles
Instructions:
- In a high-powered blender, add the silken tofu, protein powder, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into four individual bowls or glass jars, cover, and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Just before serving, crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and sprinkle 1 3/4 teaspoons of crumbs on top of each pudding cup. Add 1/4 teaspoon of sprinkles to each jar and serve immediately.
Notes:
- Leftovers should be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- You can store the pudding in one large container, just note that it will take longer to set.
- As the pudding is its thickest when cold, it’s best to serve it immediately from the fridge.
- The calories and macronutrient values will vary depending on the brand of protein powder used.
- How chocolatey your pudding ends up is also dependent on the brand of protein powder.
- To make the graham cracker crumbs, either use a food processor or place the graham cracker in a zip-top bag and use a meat tenderizer or rolling pin to crush the cracker.
- To make this recipe vegan, use vegan chocolate cookies, such as Enjoy Life’s Crunchy Chocolate Cookies, and a plant-based protein powder.
