Mexichocotofu Pudding
Thursday, October 14, 2010 at 07:01AM 
When I was at the end of my pregnancy, Elisabeth served me a chocolate tofu pie, which I proceeded to devour all in one sitting. I spent the rest of my pregnancy craving it at all times of the day, and to be quite honest, I still do. I make do with this recipe, although I bet it would be awesome in a graham cracker crust laced with candied ginger. I take absolutely no credit for this recipe at all--it's all Bittman. Because I try to use as little refined sugar as possible, I replaced the sugar with agave nectar, though you can use honey or maple syrup as well.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup agave nectar, maple syrup, or honey
1 pound silken tofu
8 ounces high-quality chocolate, melted (I used Green & Black's Organic 70% Dark Chocolate)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste
Directions:
Put everything in your blender, and puree it until smooth. Divide it between 6-8 ramekins or glasses, and chill. Don't fight the urge to go, "mmmmmmmmmmmm" the whole time you're eating it. Everyone else around you will be doing the same thing.
Enjoy, friends! Have a wonderful Thursday!

Oh, Michelle, we'll have to get you out here so we can cook for you. And Katie, we're happy to see you here. If you'd like to join Michelle in a little expedition out here, we'll make sure there's enough dinner and dessert for both of you. xo
Seriously- You're hitting all of the right {flavor} notes for me... PUDDING, one of my favorite desserts! Look forward to trying both recipes:).

Good lord, woman. This post is killing me. Now I NEED pudding. I'm so making this tomorrow after a quick trip to the grocery store. Mark Bittman is a god. Thanks for sharing. =)
