Ingredients
Ingredients
- Silken Soft Tofu – self-stable silken tofu (not refrigerated) found in most Asian supermarket. You can also use soft tofu, but the final pudding will not be as creamy or smooth.
- Brown Sweetener – brown sugar or your preferred brown sweetener alternative.
- Vanilla Extract – concentrated flavors of Vanilla found in baking section of grocery stores.
- Heavy Cream – use heavy cream or heavy whipping cream.
- Maple Syrup – sweetener to add a touch of caramelized sweetness.
- Honey – optional, standard bottle of pure honey used as a drizzling garnish.
Essential Kitchen Equipment
Directions
Step 1 Combine silken soft tofu, brown sweetener, vanilla extract, maple syrup and heavy cream in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 15 seconds.
🥄 Sweetness Adjustment
Before serving in the cup, taste the mixture. Taste and Adjust with Sweetener.
Step 2 Transfer the mixture into a serving cup and refrigerate for 30 minutes before enjoying.
🍯 Garnish Pro Tip
For an best presentation and added flavor, garnish with a Drizzle of Honey and Fresh Fruits.
Recipe Variations
For a delicious Tofu Vanilla Pudding variation, simply use regular white sweetener and increase the vanilla extract for a more pronounced vanilla flavor. If you’re in the mood for something unique, adding matcha powder to the vanilla mixture transforms it into my Tofu Matcha Pudding, offering a delightful earthy taste. Both variations maintain the same creamy texture while delivering their distinct flavors, making them just as enjoyable!
Pairing Recommendations
While my tofu pudding is delightful on its own, it pairs wonderfully with toast or graham crackers for a fun dipping experience. For a cozy touch, enjoy it alongside a nice warm dessert-style drink, such as my Sea Salt Cream Milk Tea, which adds a sweet and salty flavor contrast, or opt for a Hot Matcha Latte for a lovely matcha pairing!
