Tofu chocolate pudding
That you can also make tasty desserts with tofu is probably a surprise for many ... But it is really tasty and easy to prepare ...
Servings: 4 glases
Ingredients
- 250 gr silken tofu or japanese tofu
- 1 tblspoon maple sirope or honey
- 1 vanilla stick the seeds
- 1 tspoon cacao powder
- 50 gr dark chocolate
- 50 gr white chocolate
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tblspoon pistachio nuts chopped
- 1 tblspoon shaved chocolate dark and white
Instructions
- Put the tofu in a muslin and gently press out the excess water from the tofu. Break both the dark and white chocolate into pieces and let them melt separately. I have done this "metod of double boiler" so the chocolate will not burn.
- Divide the 250 gr tofu into two parts. Take 1 part tofu and mix with the melted dark chocolate, the syrup, cocoa powder and the pinch of salt. Put all of this in the blender and mix until you have a homogeneous mass. Take the second part tofu and mix with the melted white chocolate and the seeds from the vanilla pod. Put both mixes in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Now divide both puddings over the four glasses with a spoon or a piping bag. Finish with a bit of chopped pistachio nuts and shaved chocolate.
Notes
Silken tofu is made from the soy beans and has a high protein content.
The soybeans are soaked, then mixed with the water and cooked. The liquid that is released is the soymilk.
If you are looking for a protein rich dessert, you could mix the silken tofu with fresh cheese or cottage cheese and a tablespoon of raw cocoa powder.
