Gluten-Free Tofu Pudding

Gluten-Free Tofu Pudding is a silky smooth dessert that combines the richness of silken tofu with the subtle sweetness of coconut milk and a hint of vanilla. This delightful Chinese snack is not only gluten-free but also offers a refreshing and satisfying end to any meal.

Ingredients

• Silken tofu - 200 grams
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Agar-agar powder - 1 teaspoon
• Water - 100 ml
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a small saucepan, mix the agar-agar powder with 100 ml of water and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until the agar-agar is completely dissolved.
2. In a blender, combine the silken tofu, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Once the agar-agar mixture is boiling and dissolved, pour it into the blender with the tofu mixture and blend for an additional 30 seconds to combine well.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry. Slowly add this slurry to the blender while blending, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
5. Pour the mixture into small serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
