Missing farm-style yogurt? - Sun 10th Oct 2010
If you are on a dairy-free recipe, and missing the consistency of a nice, thick farm-style yogurt, try this recipe.
Lightly toast some fine oatmeal by stirring it constantly over a medium heat in a stainless steel pan.
Blend the tofu till smooth. I like to add 200gr of cooked chestnuts (available from this online shop!)and one stewed apple. Blend it all together nicely, with the toasted oatmeal. Refrigerate, and enjoy.
Although this may sound like a strange mix, it really tastes like a good quality yogurt, with a deliciously luscious texture! Can also be used as a cheesecake topping.

Deserts: pouring cream; yoghurt; mousse; ice-cream - Tue 28th Dec 2010
I use Blue Dragon Silken Tofu instead of cream to make the most beautiful deserts: pouring cream; yoghurt; mousse; ice-cream. It's very simple and the basic recipe can be adjusted to suit your needs.
If you want a firm mousse-like consistency, don't add any liquid.
If you want a pouring consistency, add fruit juice.
Any mixture can be turned into delicious ice-cream by using an ice-cream maker but a thicker consistency works best.
Basic Recipe
Blend ingredients with a blender (a hand blender works perfectly well)
* 1 carton of Blue Dragon Silken Tofu
* Fruit - fresh or tinned eg, punnet of strawberries, standard tin of apricots
* Honey to taste (I usually add 3 heaped desert spoons)br />br />* Fruit juice if required (can be the juice from tinned fruit)
Ready to serve immediately

silken tofu - Tue 5th Jul 2011
This is a great price for silken tofu. The flavour is pretty neutral and it's great in both desserts and savoury dishes, especially (texture-wise) if you blend it up (it's great for dips and sauces and mousses).
It has a long shelf-life, too.
