Family Favourite Chocolate Desserts (updated to be non-dairy)

Family favourite recipes passed down through the generations; these are the ones from the cookbooks with pages that can barely be read as they are now stained with chocolate spills or the pages have curled over with time. We’ve restored some old-school family favourite recipes and have updated them to make them dairy free by substituting traditional sour cream or cream cheese or other dairy ingredients with soy or almond milk, TOFUTTI SOUR SUPREME®  or TOFUTTI BETTER THAN CREAM CHEESE®

Go ahead and print the recipes and start your new collection of old family favourites. Hint—cover the recipes with plastic or store them in large plastic bags to avoid spills as you will want to save these recipes for years to come!

Old Fashioned Chocolate Bread Pudding

Ingredients

2 cups non-dairy milk such as soy or almond milk (chocolate flavoured adds richness)

¾ cup chocolate chips

¼ cup cocoa powder

1 cup sugar

6 slices of white or whole wheat bread

6 eggs lightly beaten

Top with: TOFUTTI PREMIUM® non-dairy frozen dessert

Lightly grease a 9 x 12 glass baking dish.

In a small pot over low to medium heat, slowly heat the non-dairy milk for about 5 minutes or until hot to touch. Remove from the element and stir in the chocolate chips. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth and glossy. Add in cocoa powder and sugar and stir well until sugar is dissolved. Cool slightly.

Break eggs into a large bowl or measuring cup and whisk with a fork. Add 1 Tbsp of the chocolate mixture into the eggs and stir quickly with a fork. Then pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the chocolate mixture and stir quickly with a fork to blend and then beat for about one minute.

On a cutting board, remove the crusts from the bread slices. Cut bread into small cubes (about two to three inches square but no need to be precise) and then place the cubes in the prepared baking pan. Pour the liquid over the bread cubes making sure all cubes are covered. Place pan in a preheated 325 degree F oven and bake for approximately 1 hour. The pudding should puff up slightly and look set (the centre will jiggle a bit). Serve pudding warm in bowls topped with TOFUTTI PREMIUM® non-dairy frozen dessert
