T = Tofu Treat!!!

Tofu Treat!!!

I guess you’re thinking I’ve posted the wrong photo!!! 😛 🙂 No! Definitely not! 🙂 Accidentally the wrong type of tofu was bought (silken not firm) and so I had a little play! 🙂 From two main ingredients I managed to make a starter, main and dessert! Impressive hey! 😛 I was going to post all three today… a Tofu Trio but I decided I would keep the other two recipes for another day! This is clever! ( 😛 do I write that a lot!!!?) It’s chocolatey, creamy, satisfies the need for something sweet and looks great as well as tasting exquisite! Nobody will guess the two main ingredients and they will want this again and again! 🙂 I’m thinking this is tofu + mousse so it is called chocolate tofousse? yes? no?

Today sees letter

of the A-Z Challenge and up until late last night I ‘thought’ I knew what I was posting! As I flipped through my notebook looking for my latest ‘Truffle’ recipe to post, this jumped out and said “pick me, pick me” so I checked my photos (excuse them for not being clearer / more detailed etc) and decided ‘today’ would be their day! 😛 🙂

I’ve also decided that I will take this to Angie’s Fiesta Friday 🙂 and also to the Plant Based Potluck Party as everyone needs chocolate right? and healthy chocolate is a bonus! 🙂 🙂 🙂

So, apart from being packed with protein from the tofu, you also get omega 3’s and 6 from the avocado! Yes! Tofu, avocado and cacao! This SO works! 🙂 Of course there are antioxidants, minerals and vitamins too… in dessert!!! So lets cook! 🙂

Gather

• 100g avocado (1 medium size)
• 100g silken tofu drained
• 30g agave
• 15g cacao
• 1/6 teaspoon nutmeg
• cacao nibs (optional to serve)
• fresh mint (optional to serve)
• cacao (optional to serve)
• pomegranate (optional to serve)

Prepare

1. Put a knife into the avocado in a couple of places, then place whole in the oven to bake at Gas Mark 4 (350f / 180c) for 45 minutes. Remove and cut in half,

   

   An easy way to halve an avocado (same as any stoned fruit-peaches etc) is to cut around the perimeter, then simply twist.

   
   

   twist and remove the stone. Scoop out the baked flesh.

2. Process the avocado, tofu, agave, cacao and nutmeg until you have a smooth consistency! Tada! Simple! If your processor/blender cannot deal with the textures, mash with a fork until combined and smooth!
3. Heap onto a plate and decorate with cacao nibs and fresh mint. Dust with cacao powder and serve with pomegranate.
4. Enjoy!

Serve & Store

• You could put this into individual pots and serve with biscuits 🙂
• Serve as a dip with fresh strawberries, raspberries or grapes 🙂
• Keep covered in the fridge for up to 5 days (ensure your tofu date has this much on it)
