I was thinking about what kind of sweet treats I loved when I was little, and butterscotch pudding was on the top of my list. The one I remember came out of a small box, and when my mom added some milk, magic happened. So I decided to make my version and created Tofu Butterscotch Pudding. I grabbed some silken tofu, some butterscotch chips, vanilla, a pinch of brown sugar, and a dash of bourbon; minutes later, I was basking in creamy deliciousness. Each mouthful was full of flavor and as luscious as I remember, and this one has the bonus of a dash of protein. My family thought this was particularly delicious, so the pudding didn't last too long. Tasting is believing.
Ingredients for Tofu Butterscotch Pudding:
16 ounces Silken Tofu
9 ounces butterscotch chips
1 tablespoon +1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons bourbon
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Time-Saving Tip: This can be prepared a day or two and refrigerated.

It's ready! Tofu Butterscotch Pudding is so incredibly delicious. It's hard to believe that that it is made with tofu. I like to top it with a little whipped cream and some chopped pecans. We love this one.
Enjoy!
