Real Simple Banana Pudding with Chocolate Sauce

3 tablespoons cold water

1 envelope unflavored gelatin (or agar equivalent)

1 14-ounce package silken tofu

2 large, ripe bananas, cut into 1-inch pieces

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/3 cup soy milk

 

 

 

 

 

Lightly coat four 6-ounce custard cups with vegetable spray; set

aside. Place the water in a small nonmetal bowl and sprinkle in the

gelatin; set aside. Place the tofu, banana, honey, and lemon juice in

the bowl of a food processor or blender; puree until smooth. Place the

bowl containing the gelatin in a microwave and cook for 30 seconds;

stir until dissolved. Add to the banana puree and pulse to combine.

Pour into the custard cups. Chill until set, about 1 1/2 hours. Place

the chocolate chips in the bowl of a food processor or blender and

pulse to chop. In a small saucepan, bring the soy milk to a boil. Pour

the hot soy milk over the chocolate and pulse until smooth. Using a

paring knife, loosen the edge of each pudding from its cup. Unmold

into bowls. Drizzle some warm chocolate sauce over each pudding.

ChupaNote: I thought this was a little chalky (tofu and soy milk?). If

I made this again, I might try to rinse the tofu or soak it overnight

in vanilla soy milk or some kind of juice.
