This delicious pudding is only fruit sweetened and is free of dairy and eggs. Vegan. If you skip the granola crumbs, it is gluten free.
Ingredients:
1¼-1½ c pineapple juice
1 c hot, cooked millet
2 tbsp cashews
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
¾ c dried pineapple pieces
1 c firm or extra-firm organic Mori Nu tofu
Directions:
Bring one and one-fourth cups of the juice to a boil with the dried pineapple.
Turn off the heat and let the pineapples soften for five minutes.
Blend all ingredients, except the tofu, until smooth, using a little additional juice as needed to blend ingredients.
Add the tofu to the ingredients in the blender and blend again until smooth. If needed, add a little more juice to blend. Tofu gives lightness to the pudding when it is blended for a minute or two.
