Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Strong brewed Vietnamese coffee (or espresso)
- 120 grams Silken tofu
- 60 ml Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., soy, almond, or oat milk)
- 60 ml Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Turmeric (for color, optional)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Brew 240 ml of strong Vietnamese coffee using a traditional phin filter or make a double espresso. Set it aside to keep warm.
In a blender, combine silken tofu, unsweetened plant-based milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, a pinch of turmeric (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and frothy.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
Divide the brewed coffee into two serving cups or glasses, filling each halfway.
Gently spoon or pour the whipped tofu mixture over the warm coffee, creating a thick, creamy layer on top.
Serve immediately with a small spoon to mix or enjoy the layers separately.
