I don’t know why, but I’ve been craving banana pudding for a week or so.  I thought I’d try to veganize it for Vegan MoFo and this is what I ended up with…

It was a little soupy and didn’t have the intense banana flavor I was hoping for.

Here’s what I started with:

  • 3 bananas
  • 1 package silken tofu
  • about 2 tbsp. agave nectar
  • a package of vanilla wafers that just happened to be vegan

I started by mixing the tofu, bananas, and agave together in the food processor.

I tasted the mixture and decided that it needed more flavor, so I added a sprinkle of cinnamon and about 1 tsp. vanilla extract.

I lined the bottom of a bowl with the wafer cookies…

….then added a layer of the pudding mixture and more cookies…

then more pudding and lots more cookies.

After the last of the pudding was added I crushed even more cookies on top.

Normally I would let something like this set up in the fridge first but I really wanted to try it so I dug right in.

It was good, but just not “bananaey” enough. I think that I would want more like 4 or even 5 bananas in it next time.

I had a bit this morning after it had set up overnight in the fridge and while the pudding was a much thicker and decadent consistency this time, the cookies had turned to mush. Surprisingly, I didn’t find it that gross though.

Overall I think I made a pretty tasty vegan nanner puddin’, but it could still use some tweaks to be perfect.

Any ideas on what you would have done differently?
