Ingredients

Pudding:

  • 1 package House Foods Tofu, soft
  • 
⅓ cup maple or agave syrup

  • 
⅓ cup virgin coconut oil, melted


  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract


  • 1 cup pitted cherries (frozen or fresh)
  • 
¾ teaspoon salt


Also:

  • 1 ½ cups crispy vegan chocolate cookies (any brand)


Cherry Topping:

  • 1 cup pitted cherries (frozen or fresh)
  • ¼ cup vegan sugar
 

Instructions

  • Add the vegan chocolate cookies to a blender or food processor. Blend until processed into fine cookie crumbs.

 Evenly distribute the cookie crumbs between the four serving pudding dishes, reserving about two tablespoons of cookie crumbs for the topping.


  • Add the pudding ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.
  • Pour the pudding over top the cookie crumbs in the dessert cups. Add a sprinkle of the leftover cookie crumbs over top each of the desserts. Cover cups with plastic wrap and place the dessert cups in the fridge. Reserve any leftover pudding in a separate dish - or make larger pudding sizes.


  • For the cherry topping: Add the cherries and sugar to a small sauce pot. Warm over medium-high heat, stirring briskly as the mixture bubbles and the sugar melts. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cherries have softened into a pie filling-like texture. Remove from heat and pour this topping into a separate small bowl. Place in the fridge. (Note: if you want a thicker consistency, add 1 teaspoon cornstarch to the mixture.)
  • Chill the pudding and topping for at least a half hour, longer for a more firm texture.
  •  Serve by spooning the cherry topping over top the pudding.
