Keto Sweetened Tofu

Keto Sweetened Tofu is a delightful Chinese dessert that combines the soft texture of tofu with a rich, sweet syrup made from natural keto-friendly sweeteners. This dish offers a unique balance of flavors and is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while maintaining a low-carb lifestyle.

Ingredients

• Silken tofu - 300 grams
• Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener - 3 tablespoons
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Chopped almonds - 1 tablespoon
• Coconut flakes (unsweetened) - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 100 ml

Steps

1. Drain the silken tofu and gently press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2. In a small saucepan, combine erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), coconut milk, vanilla extract, and water. Heat over medium-low until the sweetener is dissolved, stirring occasionally.
3. Once the syrup is ready, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
4. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and place them in a serving dish.
5. Pour the sweetened coconut syrup over the tofu cubes, ensuring they are well-coated.
6. Sprinkle sesame seeds, chopped almonds, and coconut flakes on top for added texture and flavor.
7. Let the dish sit for about 5 minutes to allow the tofu to absorb some of the syrup before serving.
