FAQs
Can I use regular tofu instead of silken tofu?
Silken tofu is recommended for the smooth, creamy texture it provides. Regular tofu has a firmer, grainier texture and may not blend as smoothly.

Pudding Base
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or more as needed)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 pound silken tofu (16 ounce block), liquid removed and blotted with paper towels if needed
