Silky Chocolate Pudding
*Cuisinicity Tip: I like to use canned organic lentils, well rinsed and drained, so it's one less thing to make--Below are brands I like, but it's simple enough to cook your lentils from scratch and keep them in an airtight container in fridge when you need them.

Calories 75 kcal
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup plain soy milk unsweetened
- 5 pitted dates coarsely chopped (no added sugar)
- 12 oz organic Silken tofu soft- not drained
- 2 Tbsp cooked black beluga lentils*
- 1 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips 60% cocoa
Instructions
-
Place the chocolate chips in a small microwavable measuring cup and heat in microwave on high for 1-2 minutes max, to melt; stir well until smooth and proceed.
-
Place all the ingredients in the order above in a blender (soy milk first, then dates...that's important so the dates are completely ground this way!) and process for 2-3 minutes until smooth.Note: if you can't find the really moist medjool dates, soak them in 1 Tbsp water and microwave for 5 seconds on high to soften them.
-
Scrape the sides and process again for another minute.
-
Pour in little containers and enjoy at room temperature or store in fridge.
