Making tofu is relatively easy and can save you a lot of money, but once in a while a batch of tofu just doesn’t come out the way you want it to. Usually, the problem is that it’s too watery and unable to hold together. It might be disappointing, but don’t just throw out that failed batch of tofu!
You can turn that too-soft tofu into a delicious dessert. It doesn’t exactly taste like the pudding you make from boxed mixes, but it is much healthier and dairy-free.
Ingredients
- One block of tofu
- 3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 Tablespoons soy milk
- 1/4 Teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
Directions
Drain tofu and lightly squeeze between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Put tofu and soy milk into blender and puree until tofu is smooth. Add maple syrup, cocoa powder, and flavoring. Puree again until the mixture is well blended.
Refrigerate the pudding, covered, until chilled. Serve with bananas, strawberries or graham crackers for a special protein-rich treat.
