Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup silken tofu
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed vegan cookies
- Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your workspace and gathering all the ingredients. Make sure the silken tofu is well-drained for the best texture in your pudding.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the silken tofu, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Taste the chocolate pudding mixture and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a little more maple syrup, blending again to combine.
- Once the pudding is smooth and creamy, transfer it into a mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to chill slightly.
- While the pudding is chilling, prepare the vegan cookie crumble. Take your vegan cookies and crush them into small pieces using your hands or a rolling pin. You want a mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks for texture.
- After the pudding has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. In serving cups or bowls, layer the chocolate pudding and crushed vegan cookies. Start with a layer of pudding, followed by a layer of cookie crumbs, and repeat until the cups are filled, ending with a layer of cookie crumbs on top.
- To finish, garnish each cup with fresh berries of your choice. Strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries work particularly well for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately or keep in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. These Chocolate Pudding Dirt Cups are best enjoyed chilled!
Tips
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality silken tofu for the best texture. The smoother the tofu, the creamier your pudding will be!
- Chill Time: Don’t skip the chilling step! Allowing the pudding to chill for 10-15 minutes enhances the flavors and gives it a firmer texture.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Taste your pudding mixture before chilling. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more maple syrup, but do so gradually to avoid overpowering the chocolate flavor.
- Cookie Variety: Experiment with different types of vegan cookies for the crumble. Chocolate cookies add an extra chocolatey kick, while vanilla cookies provide a nice contrast.
- Garnishing: Fresh berries not only add a pop of color but also a refreshing burst of flavor. Get creative with your garnishes—consider adding mint leaves or a drizzle of vegan chocolate sauce for an extra touch!
- Serving Size: This recipe yields 4 servings, but it’s easily doubled or halved depending on your needs. Perfect for a small gathering or a cozy night in!
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days, but trust us, they won’t last that long!
