Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Silken tofu
- 0.25 cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 inches Fresh ginger
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.75 cups Water (for syrup)
Instructions
Drain the excess water from the silken tofu package and place the tofu in a blender.
Add sugar, vanilla extract, and half a cup of water to the blender with the tofu.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
Pour the tofu mixture from the blender into a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook the mixture for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly, then remove it from the heat.
Pour the tofu mixture into serving bowls, allowing it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set, approximately 2 hours.
While the pudding sets, make the ginger syrup by peeling and slicing the fresh ginger into thin pieces.
Combine the brown sugar, 0.75 cups of water, and ginger slices in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes until syrupy.
Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool. Strain out the ginger pieces.
Before serving, drizzle the cooled ginger syrup over the silken tofu pudding.
Garnish with additional toppings like fresh fruit if desired, and serve chilled.
