Blueberry tofu pudding or frozen custard





Ingredients (use vegan versions):





2-10 oz pkgs Mori-Nu firm tofu


1/2 cup water


2/3 cup sweetener-maple syrup, brown rice syrup, etc


2 cup frozen blueberries


1 teaspoon blueberry extract


1 teaspoon raspberry extract





Directions:





Combine all ingredients in blender, process until smooth.





I sometimes will keep some of the blueberries whole, and stir them through when I am done blending, but before serving.





You can vary this with just about any fresh or frozen fruit and extracts to match.





This may also be frozen in an ice cream machine for ice cream, or freeze in ice cube trays.





Serves: 4





Preparation time: 15 minutes

NOTES


I've been making this one for years. Very easy, simple and fools non veggies.


I always like to ask non-veggies if they'd ever tried tofu about halfway through their second helping of this... you should have seen my grandpa's face when I told him he just ate tofu and liked it.

Do a chocolate tofu pie. Take your firm (yes, the firm) tofu and in a blender or food processor whirl it with cocoa, raw sugar or agave nectar, melted Earth Balance margarine or extra virgin coconut oil and a little corn starch, agar or xanthan gum until all the white flecks are gone (don't be surprised that the mix gets warm). Depending on your tofu and other ingredients you choose you may also need to add a touch of warm water to thin. It should be slightly runny so that you can pour/scoop it into a prepared pie shell. Refrigerate for a few hours so that it firms up and top with this topping:





To about a cup of your soft tofu add a good dose of melted coconut oil, a shot of agave nectar, a dash of lemon juice and vanilla (or other extract) and a touch of salt. Blenderize the ingredients until everything is smooth, thick and a little fluffy. Pipe or spread the topping onto the cooled pie.





You now have a tasty chocolate tofu cream pie that even the meatie types will like%26lt;G%26gt;. It's also fun to watch their faces when they learn that a slice of the pie has more protein and healthier fat than the stuff they usually eat!

Darn it Mevlana! You snuck that in whilst I was typing%26lt;VBG%26gt;!
