do you have any recipes that have soft tofu in them?

Question

please post. thanks.

Answer 1

1 Package of chocolate chips (the Eileens cheap kind are actually vegan, but check the ingredients for ones in your local store.)

1 "juice box" of soft tofu.

1 Graham cracker pie crust.

Melt 2/3 package of chocolate chips, blend with the soft tofu and dump into the pie crust.

Refrigerate for a couple of hours and you have a rich vegan chocolate pie.

Answer 2

GRAHAM CRACKER PIE CRUST:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 16 whole crackers)
6 tablespoons soy margarine, slightly softened
1 1/2 pounds silken tofu
1 cup canned or fresh cooked pumpkin
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
12 ounces soy cream cheese
1 tablespoon vanilla extract


Make the graham cracker crust: In a food processor or blender, process the graham crackers on high speed until they are finely ground. Add the margarine and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat the mixture into a thick layer in the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, or thinner layers in 2 (9-inch) pie plates.
Make the filling: Have all the ingredients at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor or blender, puree the tofu until smooth. Add the sugar, spices, soy cream cheese, and vanilla and process until smooth. Scrape down the sides as necessary.

Pour the tofu mixture into the prepared pie crusts and bake for 50 minutes, until the cheesecake mixture is firm.

Turn the oven off, leaving the cake in the oven for 1 hour. Remove and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. Serve slightly chilled.
Yum!

Answer 3

I crumble 1 pkg soft tofu, 1 T lemon juice, some Italian spices and a little olive oil for a great dip for crostini.
Good luck

Answer 4

I just use olive oil, a little basil, salt and pepper and sautee it in a fry pan or wok. Then sometimes I'll add soy paste or soy sauce. The secret of cooking soft tofu this way is not to stir it, you use a spatula and slowly plow through it to mix it so the tofu doesn't break up.

To this mixture you can add various vegetables, mushrooms, etc...

Answer 5

I put extra soft silken tofu in a blender with ice and chocolate soy milk. Its yummy.

Answer 6

Here are some recipes. Some of them don't specify soft tofu...I just imagine that is what to use.

Tofu Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):
1 can (16 ounces) pureed pumpkin
* 3/4 cup vegan sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1 package (10-12 ounces) silken/soft tofu, processed in blender
until smooth
* 1 9-in unbaked vegan pie shell

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Cream the pumpkin and vegan sugar. Add salt,
spices, and tofu, mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake
for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 350 F and bake for another 40 minutes.
Chill and serve. Don't use the low fat tofu, then the pie tastes like
it was made with tofu. This pie is soooo yummy, it will fool almost
anyone. I made it last Thanksgiving for my whole family, I am the only
one, and everyone asked for seconds. They begged me to make another one
for Christmas dinner. Top with non dairy topping and it will fool any
pumpkin pie lover. Nutrition Information: calories-195; fat-6g;
