CURE Recipe Swap: Chocolate Tofu Pudding

Cancer can sometimes cause eating problems. Treatment-related issues such as loss of appetite, taste changes and more can all make even a simple meal difficult to enjoy.

We recently invited CURE readers to share their favorite recipes that helped them through treatment and beyond, as part of the CURE Recipe Swap. After sharing the first recipe last week for Shiitake Mushrooms and Kale Over Smashed White Beans, we’re keeping the swap going by sharing reader Susan D.’s Chocolate Tofu Pudding. This four-ingredient dessert is not just a creamy treat but is also a good source of protein thanks to the inclusion of tofu.

Give it a try today!
