SWEET TOFU DESSERT RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour 5 cups of filtered water into a heavy-bottomed pot. Bring the water to a boil.
• Once the pot of filtered water is boiling, add in the dried sago pearls. Stir to prevent pearls from sticking together. Soft boil the mixture for approximately 40 minutes.
• At this point, the pearls should look smooth and gelatinous. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for another 15 minutes, or until pearls are soft and chewy.
• Add in dark brown sugar and continue to simmer until the sugar has dissolved.
• Remove the mixture from the heat. Allow the tapioca pearls to soak in the sugar mixture for 15-20 minutes.
• Taste the pearls to ensure you've achieved the right texture. The pearls should be soft and fully cooked. If they're still chewy, continue to simmer until softened.
• As your mixture cools, the syrup thickens. Keep the tapioca mixture warm until you're ready to assemble the rest of the dish.
• Steam the silken tofu for 10 minutes until cooked throughout in a steamer basket over a boiling pot.
• Remove the tofu from your steamer basket and allow to cool slightly. Set tofu aside.
• In a small saucepot, bring the filtered water and brown sugar to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium and simmer the mixture until the brown sugar has dissolved.
• Remove the syrup from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Steep vanilla leaves or pandan in arnibal for extra flavor. Alternatively, you can use a small amount of pandan or vanilla extract.
• Scoop up thin layers of the steamed silken tofu with a slotted spoon and place them in a serving dish. A narrow glass works well so that you can see the beautiful layers.
• Drizzle 1 to 2 tsp of arnibal over the tofu.
• Follow with a small scoop of the tapioca.
• Repeat layering until you've filled your serving dish.
• Serve and enjoy your Taho!

Steps:

• Dissolve the gelatin powder into boiling water. This can be done in a large bowl, using a whisk.
• If your silken tofu is too watery, use a tofu press to squeeze out the excess moisture.
• When you're happy with the texture, slice the silken tofu into small pieces.
• Place your sliced tofu into a food processor, add in honey and soy milk. Blend until well combined.
• Dump the ingredients into a large bowl, and pour in your dissolved gelatin and almond extract.
• Gently mix the ingredients using a whisk.
• Pour the mixture into ramekins and leave them to set up in the refrigerator for 1 hr.
• While the mixture is setting in the fridge, begin making the strawberry sauce.
• Place the strawberries, honey, and lemon juice into a food processor and blend together until silky smooth.
• Remove your tofu pudding from the refrigerator and run a knife gently around the edges to loosen them.
• Place the sweet tofu dessert onto a plate and remove the ramekin.
• Pour over your strawberry sauce.
• Add extra strawberries or fresh mint to complete your soft tofu dessert recipes.
