Tips & Variations

FAQs
Can I use firm tofu instead of silken tofu?
Silken tofu is preferred for its smooth texture, but if you only have firm tofu, blend it well and expect a slightly less creamy pudding.
Is this pudding vegan?
The pudding itself is vegan, but if you add whipped topping, check that it is plant-based to keep it vegan-friendly.
