A super easy sweet treat that tastes amazing, easy to make and is good for you!

A creamy pudding topped with a chocolate ganache - this healthy tahini pudding is not only delicious, but it's made with better-for-you ingredients like tofu, tahini and dark chocolate. Each serving also offers 11g protein with no protein powder in sight! Not bad for a yummy dessert. This healthy tahini pudding is inspired by my popular tofu chocolate mousse recipe that has recently been making the rounds on Instagram and TikTok with so many influencers recreating it! I just had to make a tahini version (with chocolate of course) because I still think that tahini is such an underrated ingredient.

These chocolate sticky toffee puddings are made with better-for-you-ingredients and with added cocoa for a bit of a twist on the old classic dessert. Made into individual portions for ease and a shorter baking time. They’re just the right level of sweet, but still indulgent!

It’s typically made with a sponge cake that’s infused with finely chopped dates, giving it a unique stickiness and depth of flavor. After baking, the sponge is drenched in a warm, buttery toffee sauce, which soaks into the cake, making it incredibly moist and gooey.
