At Ruby's, we were given 6 blocks of nigari tofu. I asked my vegan, tofu-loving sister what nigari is and she wasn't entirely sure but said that it is really soft and would be best used in desserts or miso soup. When I pinterested for ideas for silken tofu, I was given lots of recipes!
My current recipe refuses to link up but it's from yummyhealthyeasy.com. It's very simple and takes less than 5 minute to make (and that even includes gathering your ingredients!)
Ingredients:
1 block (14 oz) tofu (the site says firm but I used my nigari and it came out just fine. Next time, I would drain it a little first. Ours was frozen so I'm not sure if that made a difference or not)
1 cup chocolate chips, melted
1 tsp Truvia sweetener (I just happened to have this exact amount in a sample packet in my pantry!)
1/4 cup milk
splash of vanilla extract
dash of cinnamon
Put it all in a blender until smooth and you're done! This turns out so creamy and delicious! Be sure to put your leftovers (if they are any!) in the fridge.
You would never guess there's tofu in there. My toddler loved it and didn't even realize it wasn't her regular, from a box pudding!
