This was amazing as it tasted like good chocolate pudding - tofu is healthy so you don't have to be that guilty about serving to your family and it is vegan recipe so it is parve.

Following the advice of the recipe, I used good chocolate since the flavor of the chocolate is what you taste since tofu has no taste - it does have to be silken tofu for the right creamy pudding texture

Mexican chocolate would be great if you could find a kosher version. You don't taste the chili powder as it is such a tiny amount but it adds to the great taste of the finished product and it is traditionally added in Mexican chocolate desserts.
