    This is so good! I use honey instead of maple and add a touch of Kahlua to mine, it's fantastic!!! - 6/1/09

    I haven't tried this receipe yet but will. I just want to say I've cooked with tofu a lot. For a creamier pudding use soft silken tofu (it's stored on the shelf, not in the dairy section). I use it to make cream cicles. The soft silken tofu is creamy, doesn't separate and is wonderful for desserts. - 2/23/12

    Since tofu (and other soy) is dangerous for the thyroid, what is a good substitute? - 2/14/12

    Reply from TOTCHIKO (2/14/12)
    Good question! I don't consume much soy either these days. I'd go with either a couple of avocados or folding the chocolate into mascarpone cheese, depending on your dietary needs and preferences. You could also try it with a neutral, full fat greek yogurt, or bananas, but I have not yet.

    I absolutely love this recipe. I don't add the maple syrup - but I do everything else and this recipe is fabulous. It helps me with my chocolate cravings without the guilt. My husband even eats it and he's not a tofu lover - but loves this dessert. - 6/30/11

    I found this seemed to separate and was very grainy. - 11/27/11

    It's possible that you overheated the chocolate, or got water into the chocolate as it was melting, which will cause it to seize up and become an oily, grainy mess.

    This tasted rich and a couple spoonfuls was very satisfying w/ a great dark chocolate flavor. I added mint extract. Without the mint there was a tofu after taste I didn't care for (and I like tofu). My husband who doesn't like tofu liked it plain without the mint. - 8/25/09

    Done this without the added real chocolate, just cocoa and tofu, less calories, not such a mousse texture, but still a treat. - 1/26/17

    O.K.
    the bittersweet chocolate is to overpowering and strong, my daughter thought it was gross. Think i'll go with a semi-sweet chocolate next time or maybe use 40g chocolate. thinking of just going with my favortie chocolate next time - 7/14/13

    My whole family and I tried this recipe out and found it amazing. My grandmother who's very traditional about her cooking loved that tofu was used in this recipe. She couldn't stop talking about it. We also added in a few chocolate chips once everything was blended to add a crunch factor. Delicious! - 1/8/13

    I can't wait to try this recipe! For Pickie98, get a kitchen scale! It was by far the best thing I have ever purchased for my kitchen. Makes cooking and counting so much easier. You can get one for $15 on Amazon :) - 4/25/12

    It works fine and is easy to make, but tastes a lot like Jello instant pudding, which a little lower in calories and definitely lower in fat. - 3/4/11

    Reply from TOTCHIKO (3/4/11)
    Using a higher quality chocolate will change the richness & depth of the pudding. Also, all the fat & calories in this recipe come from whole, natural, good for you ingredients. Please look at the ingredients for Jello instant pudding to see where its fat & calories come from: http://bit.ly/eo2xp

    Very chocolatey! Texture was a bit different. Great for that much needed chocolate fix. My blender did not do well with the tofu. I will try the food processor next time. - 2/16/11

    This is the best tofu dessert we've had. We used honey instead of maple syrup too. I'm from Vermont but I hate the stuff. Great recipe! - 11/6/10

    Very, very, satisfying! I used splenda instead of maple syrup. I also like to add almond flavouring instead of vanilla for a nice Amaretto change! - 7/4/09
