GUYS.
I wasn’t planning on posting today, but last night, if you follow me in instagram (@zandra0212), I made the most freaking delicious dessert-y creation EVER.
Since I’m trying to branch out from falling under the umbrella of “strict paleo,” I randomly bought silken tofu the other day at Sprouts and thought I’d do some concocting. I’d never used tofu before, so I was kinda scared…
I guess I must’ve done something to please the kitchen gods because this was the epitome of deliciousness!! 
Protein Pudding
Ingredients:
around 200g silken (soft) tofu
3/4 scoop casein protein
2 tbsp. peanut flour
vanilla flavored stevia
nut butter of choice (I used Mara Natha sunflower seed butter)
Instructions:
1. Put tofu chunks in a tupperware bowl (or any bowl really, just one that’s good for mixing)
2. Smash up the tofu with a spoon until it’s soft. It would probably come out smoother/less chunky with a mini hand mixer, but I had to deal with my lack of resources in an apartment kitchen…this isn’t food network after all 
3. Add in peanut flour and casein and stir well. You may have to add a splash of water based on the consistency you desire. (more water–more runny)
4. Stick your mix in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour. Freezers tend to vary, so I’d say check until it gets semi-hard.
5. Smash up the semi-frozen gloop with your spoon, add in desired amount of stevia and mix. Then, top it with your favorite nut butter, and tell that bad boy to get in your belly!
my sunbutter looks kinda like a dog turd
I loved this SO much!!! Great alternative if you’re tired of greek yogurt or cottage cheese. What was super tasty–huge frozen chunks formed and they’d add a bit of a crunch/brain freeze mwahaha
Have a GREAT Wednesday everyone and be sure to check out all the awesome eats/recipes/ideas over at Jenn’s What I Ate Wednesday party!
What’s your favorite way to use tofu? Do you prefer the soft or firm kind? (haha it sounds like I’m asking about mattresses )
I saw this on Instagram and it sounded so good…thanks for sharing the recipe! I love baked tofu…preferably on the firmer side (haha that sounds so dirty)! Although I’m not lactose-intolerant, this is a great nondairy dessert- Greek yogurt/cottage cheese instantly come to mind for high-protein dessert options!
I need to try tohis with vegan protein powder ASAP! I love love love your dessert creations,they always sound so amazing and this looks heavenly! <3
“my sunbutter looks kinda like a dog turd” <– LOL!!! You crack me up. I never really liked tofu UNLESS it was in a concoction like this. I usually mix up the silken kind with berries, protein powder, almond milk, etc. to make a smoothie/custard like thing. It's good!
I know, I LOATHE tofu when it’s by itself too. BUT MAN ALIVE this was amazing! I’ll have to try it in smoothie form like you!
Tofu?!?! I would have never thought! I’m not gna lie.. It kind of scares me. But, I trust you. I’ll have to try this!
It freaked me out too! I was so scared it was gonna turn out gnarly haha
This looks delicious! I am on the hunt for a good casein powder, but it’s not very popular where I am. And I am almost out of peanut flour (I usually buy multiple bags at one time I use it so often!). I guess I am going to need to stock up soon!
oooohhhh that’ll be fun to go shopping!!
Love tofu!
It is a staple for me as a vegan ha!
My fave way to have it is ‘scrambled’ with hot sauce alongside some veggie sausages and veggies : )
Wow I never knew you could prepare it like that, how cool!
Look at this! And just when I was wondering what to do with my blob ‘o tofu. Thanks for the recipe!
Awesome! Don’t you just love it when a new concoction works out for ya?
Ohhh how awesome it feels when you randomly come up with a new snack idea that you love
I’ve used tofu in puddings/smoothies on a few occasions and it definitely gives it a nice texture. But it’s too bad that you don’t have a little blender! Can you get a Magic Bullet? Those things are small, pretty inexpensive, and so handy!
YUP, I have been excited about this since Instagram this morning
Making it tonight–but with some new pea protein I just picked up–that just so happens to be CHOCOLATE. So a chocolate version is about to happen. And by “about” I mean 9 hours. Ohhhh, that’s so long from now…I don’t want to wait.
Is that the Olympian labs chocolate pea protein?! If so, I LOVE THAT STUFF!!!!! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
YES IT IS! I bought a single-serve pack and loved it too, so I bought a giant tub which is in the mail RIGHT NOW and will be at my house when I get home from work (at least I sure hope so). Expect to see results on IG tonight
I prefer soft mattresses and firm tofu. Lol
I usually always buy the firm kind for stirfry’s and sandwiches, but once I made a chocolate pie using the soft kind and it was so creamy! I love your idea of using it for pudding. I think the soft kind would be a great addition to smoothies too!
I have yet to try any tofu mousse but this makes me want to.
Uuummm. Making ASAP:).
Xxx
I saw the picture last night and it looked amazing! Definitely going to pick up some tofu today to try this! BTW — just made your ezekiel, pb and eggwhite sandwich! My mouth is loving you right now! And so is my belly!
YAY!!!!!!
Silken tofu is amazing! I’ve tried the dessert silken tofu before and LOVED it. This looks delicious too
I’ve always been kinda afraid to try tofu….by itself what does it taste like?
I like to have plain greek yogurt with vanilla protein and a few raspberries pre-bed…so good!
It is so weird by itself!!!
I need to make this asap! Probably with yogurt instead of tofu though! Looks awesome. Of course, because it includes my love, peanut flour!
yum! now i just need to find me a box of silken tofu! thats always a challenge fo rme haha
Yum this looks awesome! I love using firm tofu for stir fries or just roasting it along with some veggies. But I once bought silken tofu and made a pumpkin pudding out of it and loved it! I haven’t made it since though. I need to buy some more and make more sweet snacky recipes with it!
This does look awesome miss thanggg
I have yet to try tofu in a recipe like this.. on that not I still have to in a smoothie as well! I know you like to do that, and I must before it gets too cold. I cant’ answer your preference question on tofu… yet, is the key word here! I hope you are having a most lovely week!
NOMMMMMM!!!!!
This is perfect as I have a block of tofu sitting in my fridge too!
Yay!!!
Haha, you always have the most random snacks! Love ya, girlie!
i used to do tofu puddings all the time! you should also try to add some shredded zucchini & spices for a zucchini bread pudding!
I’ve always wanted to make tofu pudding! And seeing your delicious version means I’ve gotta try it now, right
I think I’ll be stocking up on silken tofu when I hit up Sprouts this weekend!
I saw this and it looked goooooood! I am very picky with tofu! The firm kind can be very sponge-like if not prepared properly! The only thing I’ve made with the silken tofu is a french toast batter from the eat clean diet cookbook! I had to blend it with a bunch of spices and almond milk and it actually worked really well!
SO EXCITED about this recipe!! I eat casein “fudge” or “pudding” topped with peanut butter every night, but both are simply casein + almond milk (in different quantities–the fudge requires just a few tablespoons of milk; the pudding a bit more). I LOVE both, but I also love trying new recipes! The tofu and peanut flour will definitely bulk it up a bit, which is always a good thing! The more deliciousness, the better! Thanks for sharing! <3 xoxo
This looks so good!

Thank you for the recipe!! I was wondering what to do with the silken tofu I bought by accident instead of the “normal” tofu.
I mixed it with Sun warrior protein and used a bit almond milk to make it more creamy.
Tasted great!!!!!!!
Awesome! I’m so glad you liked it!!
Love your little concoctions! This is my first time commenting, so I wanted to say hey! It seems like you’re doing great at your new school and it looks absolutely gorgeous out there! Keep kicking butt, girl!
Thanks SO SO much my friend!!

(My favorite way to use tofu is in my pumpkin pie. No one ever knows I’ve hid it in there, and I get the pleasure of seeing them enjoy every bite.
