It’s official: my kids are firmly in their critique everything phase. I blame myself: as a recipe developer for over a decade, I’ve become a wee bit dependent on asking my omnivore family for their opinion a LOT…because I want to make plant-based recipes that EVERYONE will love.

So now, well, I’ve gotta admit it’s kinda stressing me out. I just sit there at the table, bracing for the comments. That is, unless I can whip something up that they simply just eat. And when I watched my nine year old tear through this peanut butter pudding I decided I just wouldn’t bother telling her that I made it with silken tofu. Because sometimes I need to just protect my peace, ha.

My inner dietitian loves that it’s got a little boost of plant-based protein – 12 grams! – because my youngest is still a carb-avore and I’m always trying to get more protein into her. You can adjust the sweetness as you like and serve with crushed Biscoff or, if you want to keep it homemade, these would be DELICIOUS served with my easy ginger molasses cookies for a similar spiced cookie vibe.

If you’ve never thought of making dessert out of tofu, you’re in for a treat! And if you are looking for even more fun and flavourful plant-based recipes, you just might love my latest cookbook, Plant Magic.

How to make this ridiculously simple silken tofu pudding

There is something insanely gratifying about a blender dessert: minimal effort, no cooking, no messing with cornstarch or thickener. Just pop tofu, peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla into a blender and let it do its thing. The tofu pudding comes out rich and satisfying but with a light and silky texture that doesn’t take that long to set up in the fridge.

biscoff biscuits, silken tofu and peanut butter — This is a flexible recipe: use any silken tofu you can find (but NOT regular tofu) and add your favourite cookie if Biscoff isn’t available where you are.

Let’s talk silken tofu. Where I live, the only silken tofu in my local shop comes in a tube. It’s quite soft. Where you live, you might have those shelf-stable cartons of Mori-Nu Silken that comes in different firmnesses. I would go for soft or medium but any will work…it will just thicken the texture of your pudding.

Next up, a couple photos to show you exactly what it will look like once it’s done blending.
