This chocolate pudding is super easy to make—just melt chocolate chips, then whip the rest of the ingredients into a smooth purée. Vanilla extract, sugar substitute, and cinnamon add sweetness to the taste of the tofu in the low-calorie dessert mix. (You'll also want to make this vegan chocolate pudding made with avocado.)

There's no food coloring in this low-calorie dessert—it's naturally red from the addition of beets. For this recipe, the tofu is used in the frosting along with dark chocolate and light coconut milk. The healthified version has less than half the calories of a traditional red velvet cake.

Chocolate Peppermint Tofu Ice Cream

Tofu in ice cream? Sounds a little crazy, but the custard-like texture is a great dairy substitute for the frozen low-calorie dessert. Unsweetened cocoa powder and peppermint extract are combined with the tofu, coconut oil, and sweetener for the rich flavor.
