Directions
Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and olive oil. Microwave on high for 20 seconds, stir, and continue to microwave at 10-second intervals until melted.

Step 2

In a blender, purée tofu until creamy, scraping sides as needed. Add vanilla and purée until smooth. Add melted chocolate and purée until well blended, scraping sides as needed.

Step 3

Spoon into 10 custard cups and chill, covered, for 4 hours or overnight.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer, remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl. Add the cranberries to the bowl and toss to coat completely. Cover and chill for 4 hours.

Step 5

Drain cranberries in a colander. Place the raw sugar in a shallow dish. Roll cranberries in the raw sugar. Spread sugared cranberries in a single layer on a baking sheet and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour, or until dry.

Step 6

Serve pudding topped with a dollop of whipped topping and sugared cranberries.
