Main Ingredients:
- Sweet Potatoes. Yes, you read it right. Baked sweet potatoes add sweetness and a nice texture to the pudding, not to mention the added health benefits. Baked pumpkin or even baked apples can be used here as well.
- Tofu. You'll need silken tofu. I prefer buying non-GMO, organic tofu.
- Cacao Powder. Don't confuse it with the sweetened cocoa powder, which has sugar added.
- Agave Syrup. You can use honey, or another sweetener of your choice.
- Vanilla Extract (Optional).
- Cinnamon Powder. This ingredient complements the chocolate taste nicely.
- Salt.

How to make this Tofu Pudding:
1. Bake the sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes at 400°F or until the potatoes easily yield to an inserted fork or knife. Cool completely.
2. Blend. Scoop the flesh out of the sweet potatoes and add it to a food processor, along with the rest of the ingredients. Process until very smooth.
3. Chill. Divide the Chocolate Tofu Pudding among 4 to 6 ramekins and chill for at least 30 minutes. If you like, garnish each one with crushed cookies, chocolate shavings, or cacao powder before serving.
