Maple Tofu Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 -14 ounces soft tofu
1/4 cup corn oil
1/3 cup maple syrup or 1/3 cup pancake syrup
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup walnuts (optional) or 1/4 cup black walnut, finely chopped (optional)

Preparation

Drain the tofu and cut it into small pieces.
Place the pieces in a blender.
Add the oil, maple syrup, salt and vanilla. Put the lid on the blender.
Process the mixture for a minute or two, or until the pudding is quite smooth.
If necessary, turn off the blender, and scrape down the sides of the blender jar.
Then put the lid back on and process some more.
When the mixture is smooth, turn it into 4 small, resealable, half-cup containers.
Chill until serving time, or serve right away if desired.
If you like, you can sprinkle a tablespoon of finely chopped walnuts on top of each serving of pudding.
I prefer black walnuts, but any type will do.
