Almond Jelly with Tofu
Almond Jelly with Tofu is a healthy spin on the Almond Jelly I used to have as a kid. Adding soft silky tofu adds protein to the dessert and no one will ever know. Served with a drizzle of date syrup and fresh fruit, it’s the perfect ending to a meal.
Servings: 12 Servings
Equipment
- Large Sauce Pan
- Stand or Immersion Blender
Ingredients
- 1 7 oz Packet Almond Flavor Agar Agar Dessert
- 1 12 oz Box Super Soft and Silky Tofu
- 1 11.25 oz Can Coconut Condensed Milk
Garnishes
- 1 Cup Date Syrup
- 2 Cups Sliced and Cut Fruit (any variety)
Instructions
Make the Jelly
- In the large sauce pan mix the packet of the Almond Flavor Agar Agar dessert with 4 cups of water and heat it up until it comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes.
- n a blender add in the tofu and condensed milk. Add in the heated up mixture. *Be careful it’s hot!*. If you have a blender with a removable pour cap take that out. And cover the hole with a double layer of paper towels folded and on top of that a pot holder. Before blending use your hands to hold down the layer of paper towels and pot holder. This is to make sure hot liquid does not spew all over you and your kitchen.
- If you have an immersion blender that would be better as you can just add the tofu and condensed milk to the pot and blend until smooth.
- After blending set a strainer over another big bowl or pot and strain the mixture through.
- Once you have strained it pour the mixture into 12 individual cups. Leave on your countertop to get to room temperature. Once it is at room temperature after an hour it should be set. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool for at least 4 hours.
How To Serve Almond Jelly with Tofu
- To serve take out the cups of set Almond Jelly with Tofu and drizzle each cup with 1 tablespoon of date syrup. Garnish with your choice of sliced fruit.
