Try one of these mouthwatering tofu dessert recipes if you’re looking to add some variety to your collection of sweets. For those who want a sweet treat without the guilt, here is a collection of 30 healthy and simple tofu dessert recipes.
1. Easy Tofu Chocolate Mousse Recipe
In most savory preparations, the tofu used is a firm block variety. This tofu can withstand being cubed and stir-fried repeatedly. However, it is rarely used in sweets. (If you’re curious in the many kinds of tofu, The Kitchn has a great guide to them.)
However, silken tofu has a smoother texture and more moisture. This thing is about as sturdy as a poached egg and crumbles to pieces at the slightest touch. Despite its usefulness in making chocolate tofu pudding, I generally avoid using this type of tofu for mousse since it tends to make the mixture excessively mushy and watery.
Firm tofu adds a wonderful thickness and body to the mousse, highlighting the rich, somewhat bitter flavor of dark chocolate.
2. Chocolate Tofu Pie
Don’t be put off by the fact that it contains tofu. It’s a family favorite, even with my picky eaters. Chocolate Tofu Pie is amazingly tasty and smooth thanks to this recipe.
You should use Silken Tofu. It turned out well when I substituted firm tofu, but the Silken version is light years superior.
Ensure that the Tofu is well drained. First, I used a sieve, and then I spread it out on some paper towels. Towels may be used for dabbing as well.
The taste of your pie will improve in proportion to the quality of the chocolate chips you use.
Using a premade pie crust from the shop will make this already simple dish even less of a hassle.
3. Easy Eggless Silken Tofu Tiramisu
This dessert is a great alternative to traditional tiramisu because it is gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free. Neither baking nor cooking is necessary for the preparation. It’s a delicious dessert option that’s lighter than classic tiramisu.
4. Lemon Tofu Cheesecake
This vegan dessert is as classy as it is delicious; the recipe for lemon tofu cheesecake appeared in Vegetarian Times in 1997. You may dig in after only two hours in the fridge, but the flavors really shine the next day.
This recipe may be simply converted into a no-bake variation when the oven is off-limits due to high temperatures. The filling will still turn out OK without the cornstarch. The end product will have a looser, creamier consistency.
5. Taho (Filipino Sweet Tofu)
Filipinos love the sweet dessert taho, which is made with silken tofu, sugar, and tapioca pearls.
The three main components of the popular Filipino street food known as taho are soft tofu, arnibal (simple syrup), and sago (tapioca balls).
Common serving temperatures include warm and room temperature. However, the tofu may be enjoyed cold for a refreshing snack.
This sweet tofu snack is popular in a variety of Asian nations, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and many more.
6. Vegan Tofu Tiramisu (8 ingredients)
This vegan tofu version of tiramisu manages to be both traditional and innovative. Vegan “mascarpone cheese” and coffee-flavored biscuits or sponges are combined to create this dessert. I can’t help but be impressed, and I’m hoping you will be, too.
It’s hard to find a more traditional dessert than tiramisu. It’s the same thing I enjoyed before I turned vegan, except now it’s vegan.
It’s more like a rich mousse cake, but I’ve provided a raw, no-bake vegan tiramisu cake. This one is much like the classic version, but it has a tofu mascarpone cheese filling instead of real cheese.
Perhaps you’re wary about trying tofu in sweets, but I can assure you that you won’t detect its presence. (nudge nudge)
7. Tofu Pudding Dessert
Desserts made from soybean curd, or tofu, have a long tradition in China. One such dessert is sweet tofu pudding, also known as douhua. There aren’t many elements to this douhua dish. In just a few easy steps, you can have a sweet, silky, and tender tofu dessert.
This Chinese dessert known as tofu pudding is made with tofu and soy bean curd. Douhua () in Mandarin or tau fu fa () in Cantonese are also names for this dish. Soft tofu is used in its preparation. And it is typically used as a dessert because of its sugary flavor.
8. Vietnamese Silken Tofu in Ginger Syrup Dessert
Silken tofu is the main ingredient in this dessert, which is created from coagulated soy bean milk and then doused in a sweet ginger syrup. In the cold case of most grocery stores, you may get silken tofu.
On the other hand, this is the recipe to create your own tofu if you want to ensure that it is completely natural (without any of those extra problematic components). Homemade tofu cooked with 100% soy milk has an excellent taste that works wonderfully in this sweet dessert.
9. Peanut Butter Tofu Pie
A pie made with peanut butter that doesn’t wreck your diet! Silken tofu is used to make a creamy foundation, and peanut butter powder is added for taste with a significant reduction in fat content. I added a little of actual peanut butter to this dish, just a teeny tiny bit, so that it would have more taste. Although Skinny Taste provided the crust for this recipe, you could just as well use one that you purchased from the store. Enjoy!
10. Chinese Strawberry Almond Tofu Dessert
The sweet dessert known as Chinese almond tofu (), often referred to as Annin tofu, is quite popular across the entirety of the Far East. We usually serve annin tofu with freezing cold syrup and chopped fruit on the side since it is a soft jellied dessert that is prepared by combining agar and sugar, among other ingredients. The actual almond tofu is cut into the shape of a little diamond using a dicer.
11. Chocolate Tofu Cake
However, this cake, which has a texture that is nearly exactly the same as the dense chocolate cake that was mentioned earlier and almost precisely the same appearance, is an entirely other tale.
This dessert is good for you! There is no flour, butter, or cream except than the teeny-tiny quantity needed to oil the pan. There is also no flour. So, how does this magic work? Silken tofu, chocolate (use your preferred dark/bittersweet chocolate for this), cocoa powder, eggs, sugar, a touch of milk, and rum are the ingredients that go into making this chocolate tofu cake.
12. The Best Crispy Tofu {baked}
We guarantee you won’t find a better recipe for crispy tofu anywhere else. It’s tasty, requires very little oil, and cooks to perfection in the oven. It goes great in stir-fries and also makes a delicious snack.
I am overjoyed to be able to present you with this recipe for Crispy Tofu today! After putting it through its paces for a time, I can now state that it’s flawless! Although I am aware that tofu may be viewed as a rather divisive food item, my family consumes a significant amount of it, and preparing it in this manner is by far my favorite method. It is, without a doubt, The Best Crispy Tofu!
My son, who is two years old, enjoys just munching on this Crispy Baked Tofu, and it is so adorable how he says “tofu.” In our home, tofu is prepared around once every seven days on average.
13. Vegan Matcha Tofu Cheesecake Recipe
Perhaps you’ve experimented with vegan tofu cheesecakes before using a variety of different recipes. This matcha cheesecake, on the other hand, is a one-of-a-kind creation with vibrant hues and clean tastes.
Use only plant-based ingredients and a minimal amount of sugar in this vegan-friendly variation. The vegan matcha tofu cheesecake is a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional cheesecake since it is made without the use of unhealthy components like butter, cheese, and whipped cream.
Matcha’s health benefits have led to its widespread adoption as a key ingredient in vegan cooking. Tofu and matcha are two unusual taste combinations, but they work well in this cheesecake recipe.
14. Hazelnut Tofu Baked Cheesecake
This delicious baked vegan cheesecake with a hazelnut shell and a wonderfully creamy vanilla tonka filling tastes just like the very finest traditional New York cheesecake. It has the ideal amount of smoothness, sweetness, richness, and satisfaction, and the flavor is out of this world. It takes very little time to create, just requires a few basic ingredients, and it is devoid of gluten and processed sugar. The pinnacle of baked cheesecake perfection, while being vegan.
15. Tofu Ice Cream
You’ll have no trouble creating vegan ice cream at home if you follow our straightforward recipe, which calls for only five ingredients. The use of silken tofu allows for a creamy texture to be achieved in this chilled dessert without the addition of dairy.
This ice cream is a far better alternative to the traditional recipe due to the fact that it does not require any additional sweetener because of the semi-sweet chocolate chips. If you want to create this scrumptious and healthy dessert at home, just follow the methods that we’ve outlined below.
16. Vegan Crème Brûlée
My Valentine’s Day gift to you is a simple vegan crème brûlée. This is just another proof that tofu is an absolute godsend for vegan cooking.
Either way, I think it’s fine to eat both by yourself, since even if you’re not romantically involved with anybody right now, you’ll definitely fall in love with this dish. Time to get down and dirty with a torch and give them that perfect brûléed finish!
17. Vegan Vanilla Pudding
Simple to make with only 5 ingredients, this vegan vanilla pudding doesn’t use any dairy products. It’s the ultimate dessert treat since it’s both light and creamy, and it goes well with luscious, fresh berries.
This luxurious vegan pudding has silken tofu as its foundation. Stay put for the time being! Silken tofu is extremely smooth and has almost no flavor. It’s a good source of protein and calcium and low in calories. Nobody will ever suspect that this pudding is dairy-free because of the natural sweetness of pure maple syrup and vanilla essence.
18. Carrot Tofu Cake
Turn the temperature in the oven up to 350 degrees F. Grease a baking dish that measures 9 by 11 inches.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla extract, applesauce, and tofu. Using an electric mixer, beat at a medium speed until everything is combined. While the mixer is still running, add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a moderate and steady stream.
Hand-mix the carrots and the raisins into the mixture.
Place the cake batter in the baking dish that has been previously prepared. Put in the oven and bake for forty-five minutes at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Before icing, allow the cake to completely cool in the pan. Delectable when topped with cream cheese or frosting made of coconut.
19. Gooey S’mores Bars
It turns out that by combining melted chocolate, silken tofu, and full-fat coconut milk, we can achieve that enchanted consistency. And I could or might not be guilty of this myself, but the combination could also be eaten like pudding.
You may enjoy these Vegan S’mores bars year-round as a delicious dessert after dinner. In fact, if you won’t have access to a fire while camping, you may prepare them in advance and bring them along. If stored in an airtight container, they will keep for up to four days at room temperature.
20. Tofu Donut Holes
Despite being “somewhat healthier,” the greatness of these doughnuts lies in their satisfying texture and crisp exterior. They’re not like conventional doughnuts at all in terms of texture. Rougher and chewier. This is fantastic.
No, I won’t deny that the tofu adds taste. In my opinion, there isn’t, but maybe that’s just because I’ve become accustomed to the flavor of tofu. You might not recognize the flavor if you’ve never had tofu before. But I believe you’ll find them to be to your liking. Easy to prepare and delicious.
21. Sweet Chili Tofu Balls
It’s the combination of the tofu balls’ chewiness and the sweet and spicy sauce that makes these Sweet Chili Tofu Balls so satisfying. When the sauce is reduced, it is added to the air-fried tofu balls. This would go well with rice or noodles.
This is a dish I created with my air-fried tofu ball recipe (found here) since they go so great with the sauce. These tofu balls reduce well in any sauce of your choosing!
22. Golden Vegan Brownies
These vegan golden brownies are chewy without the need of oil or butter. Your children will go crazy for these low-fat, ultra-moist brownies made with silken tofu.
What sets these simple vegan brownies apart is the use of tofu in place of butter and oil, which gives them a rich, buttery texture. In this method, the brownies retain their gooey texture and flavor with minimal loss of moisture.
The chocolate chips are still there to melt in your mouth, and the walnuts lend a nice crunch and nutty flavor to these little brownies that are perfect for snacking.
23. Tau Foo Fah (Soy Bean Pudding)
Tau Foo Fah, also known as douhua in Mandarin, is a traditional Chinese dessert consisting of highly silky tofu that is served with a ginger or pandan-flavored transparent sweet syrup. Brown syrup is frequently used in place of clear syrup in recipes. Although it is often consumed warm, this dish may also be enjoyed in its cooled form. In days gone by, street vendors were the ones who sold Tau Foo Fah, but modern day Chinese restaurants often include it on their dim sum menus. In the past, street vendors were the only ones who sold it.
24. Silken Tofu and Mango Verrines
This recipe for a vegan and gluten-free verrine dessert uses silken tofu and converts it into a beautiful parfait.
- To make a smooth sauce, mix the tofu, mango purée, lime juice, coconut milk, passion fruit syrup, and sugar in a food processor until combined.
- Evenly distribute the mixture amongst six ramekins or verrines. Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to overnight with the lid on.
- When you are ready to serve the dish, mix any remaining ingredients and then decorate the verrines.
25. Silken Tofu Strawberry Cheesecake
There have been other tofu cheesecake recipes on this site before, and this one won’t be the last. It’s a stroke of genius to use silken tofu to create a cheesecake (note the use of ellipses).
This tasty dessert is made using protein-rich silken tofu and fresh berries instead of cream or full-fat soft cheese. The perfect combination of tasty and healthy. Making it is also a breeze.
This dessert is ideal for the summer when fresh, local strawberries are in plenty. If you want a dessert with the same general feel but a different color and taste, try subbing blueberries or blackberries for the strawberries.
26. Silken Tofu And Chocolate Chia Pudding
A tasty morning meal that can be made the night before, stored in the fridge, and eaten in the morning? If so, you should definitely try this simple recipe for chocolate chia seed pudding with silken tofu.
Silken tofu may be unfamiliar to you. Essentially, it’s a tofu that’s so silky and loose that it falls apart when touched. It has a silky texture and is sometimes referred to as Japanese tofu.
Silken tofu, with its mild flavor and creamy texture, is commonly used in prepared foods such as dips, sauces, pudding, smoothies, porridges, etc. Other uses include making sour cream or heavy cream, as well as using it in baking.
27. Vegan Tiramisu Brownies (gluten-free)
Can I interest you in a dessert that combines two of your favorite sweets? These Tiramisu Brownies will wow your friends and family. Brownie has a solid, fudge-like texture, and a rich, chocolaty flavor with a touch of coffee from single-brew coffee tea bags.
A foolproof tofu “cheesecake” serves as the cherry on top. According to the available evidence, the first Tiramisu was created in Treviso around the year 1800. A shrewd “maitresse” in a pleasure palace in the heart of Treviso is credited with creating this delectable dessert.
28. Pineapple Bbq Tofu
There’s no need to fire up the grill for this recipe for Pineapple BBQ Tofu; just pop it in the broiler for a few minutes. A delicious meal that can be prepared at any time of year.
- The tofu should be pressed for 15 minutes in an EZ Tofu Press.
- The tofu should be sliced into long, thin strips (as shown in pictures)
- Cooking sauce, olive oil, and fresh pineapple should be mixed together in a food processor.
- Prepare the tofu by marinating the planks for two hours in a BBQ sauce combination.
- Wood should be stacked on a baking sheet with a rim. Cook under the broiler for 10 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle over some sliced green onions and fresh pineapple chunks for garnish.
29. Vegan Tofu Lemon Posset
Here’s a very delicious vegan dessert that will blow your guests’ minds: tofu lemon posset. It may be prepared in advance and served at room temperature.
Just toss the five ingredients into a food processor and pour the posset mixture into ramekins to chill in the fridge to solidify; it’s that simple.
These tofu lemon possets are vegan, easy to make, and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days, making them perfect for a last-minute weeknight dessert.
30. Soft And Fluffy Tofu Chiffon Cake
I think what keeps me coming back to create chiffon cakes again and again is the endless variety you can get by experimenting with different tastes and ingredients. Imagining what may be is so much fun! The idea for this tofu chiffon cake has been floating about in my head for quite some time.
Until this last batch, I wasn’t satisfied with the outcome no matter how many times I cooked it. The chiffon cake is delightfully light and airy, with a slight yet delicious soy bean fragrance. Silken soft tofu may be used in a variety of ways, so if you’re ever at a loss, now you know! Try your hand at this one!
