Chocolate Tofu Pudding

• 12 to 14 oz box of soft tofu
• 1/4 cup corn oil
• 1/4 cup water or soy milk
• 1/3 cup cocoa or carob
• 1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Dash salt

Open up the tofu, and drain off the water. Cut the tofu into small cubes and place it in a blender. Add the corn oil, water or soy milk, cocoa, sugar, vanilla and salt. Process for a minute or two, or until the mixture is smooth. You may have to stop the blender, and scrape down the sides a few times during blending. When everything is smooth, pour the pudding into small 1/2-cup-sized, resealable plastic containers, or a big bowl. Keep in the fridge for hungry children to snack on, or put in healthy lunchboxes for a protein rich desert. This is a great recipe for people who don’t like tofu. They can get friendly with it in a nonthreatening atmosphere. The pudding is very rich and chocolaty. Great for midnight snacks.
