Recipe Notes

Substitutions/Tips:

*Add more/less of the cayenne pepper based on your preference

*Make sure you use cocoa powder, NOT hot cocoa mix.

*It's important to use silken extra-firm tofu.  A popular brand is Mori-Nu and they sell it in shelf-stable packages so no refrigeration is needed.

*This is a very thick pudding, so please use a food processor, a blender will not be able to mix this pudding.
