Tofu is essentially soy cheese. It is made of fermented soy milk pretty much the same way any cheese is made. Tofu comes in two main forms: silken (Japanese-style) and regular. Both forms of tofu can be soft, medium, firm, and extra firm.
Cooking tofu is both easy and difficult. The matter is, it doesn't have a flavor of its own but the good news is, it can perfectly absorb any flavor you want it to have. It is an opinion of the majority of home cooks that soft tofus are harder to deal with.
On the other hand, firm tofus can be use to cooking creamy things like sauces or pie insides. Firm tofu can be marinated and stir-fried, grilled, or sauteed.
Here's how you can make a perfect tofu dessert without baking and hassle.
Take:
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups firm silken tofu
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave. Blend tofu with honey until smooth, mix with the chips and blend until creamy. Serve with toasted almonds.
