The first version is a ridiculously easy, no-cook pudding that gets its richness from silken tofu. The second version has a more traditional texture.
I. Have ready a 4-cup bowl or four 5- to 6-ounce cups or ramekins. Combine in a food processor or blender:
Blend until completely smooth. Finish and store as for Vanilla Pudding.
II. Prepare Old-Fashioned Chocolate Pudding, substituting 2 cups unsweetened almond, soy, or beverage-style coconut milk for the milk.
