Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Silken tofu
- 200 grams Applesauce (unsweetened or sweetened)
- 50 grams Granola
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 2 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the silken tofu from its packaging and gently drain any excess liquid. Be careful not to break the tofu as it is delicate.
Place the tofu on a plate or shallow bowl, and use a sharp knife to slice it into two equal portions.
Refrigerate the tofu portions for about 5 minutes to ensure they are nicely chilled.
While the tofu chills, prepare your other ingredients: measure out the applesauce, granola, and any optional toppings such as honey, cinnamon, or mint leaves.
Once the tofu is chilled, spoon half of the applesauce evenly over each portion of tofu, covering the top surface.
Sprinkle granola generously over the applesauce layer to add a satisfying crunch.
Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top if desired for extra sweetness.
Lightly dust with cinnamon and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors!
