Dessert Tofu

Make delicious dessert tofu quickly and easily with the SoyQuickT Automatic Soymilk Maker. Dessert Tofu is known by many names, depending on the region of Asia including "taho", "kembang tahu", "tofu fa", "dohua", "dofu nao", "dofu hwa", "tawa", or "dau hu". It is often known in North America as tofu pudding, soybean custard, or soybean pudding. This soft, sweet, creamy soy custard is served with a sweet, thick caramel sauce, a thin syrup laced with ginger, or served mixed with fruit or sugar syrup and chunks of coconut jelly. You can also stir in tapioca pearls.

This delicious treat is made with soymilk that is jelled using the same coagulant that is used for tofu. The texture will vary depending on how much coagulator you use and which kind. Normally the pudding is left unflavored, but you can add flavor by adding the desired ingredient as an extract or powder and cooking it with the soymilk before adding the coagulant.

Served hot or cold, dessert tofu is a great addition to any menu.
