Allergens

None (gluten-free, nut-free options available)

Ingredients

• 1 cup silken tofu
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1 tbsp agar powder
• 1 cup water

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine silken tofu, almond milk, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
3. In a saucepan, combine agar powder with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until the agar is fully dissolved.
4. Gradually pour the silken tofu mixture into the saucepan with the dissolved agar. Stir constantly to combine, then add the cornstarch slurry. Cook for another 2 3 minutes until the pudding thickens.
5. Divide the pudding among four dessert cups or ramekins and let it cool at room temperature. Then, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
6. To serve, garnish each cup with fresh berries and a sprig of mint, if desired.
