Answer 7

I do this to my kids and they don’t even know it. Put silken Tofu in a food processor or blender ( 12 oz ) and puree. Then add the mixture to a box of your favorite mac and cheese right as you are adding the cheese mixture.  You can also puree silken tofu and add 12 oz of melted semi sweet chocolate. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and pour the mixture into a graham cracker pie crust. Chill in the fridge for an hour and you’ve got a chocolate mouse. Hope these help

Good luck

Answer 8

If you have a recipe for miso soup, you can make that.  Many restaurants will put silken tofu cubes into the soup.  Otherwise, you use it mainly for desserts, smoothies, sauces, or anything that requires a creamy texture.

Answer 9

A no cook simple one. Any strawberries?

Blend silken tofu, strawberries, sugar to make a creamy yoghurt like dessert !   No strawberries, any mango. Replace with mango to make a tofu mango pudding.

Steamed silken tofu for 5-8 minutes.  Sprinkle chopped spring onion (optional), drizzle with olive oil/sesame oil, light soy sauce.
