(music) whipped cream is one of my favorite indulgences and with tofu you can
have that same sweet topping even if you are lactose intolerant
or just not eating dairy
we're going to start again with the silken tofu and make what i call
tofu whip!
now you'll need a good blender
and you'll need your silken tofu this is firm,
so right inside the blender it goes falls right in there
maple syrup of course is going to give it its sweetener
and then just a little bit of
vanilla extract
so simple yet so yummy
so simple
so i'm gonna put this on and let this blend
ok, that's getting to the texture that I want, set this aside for just a few
minutes
and then to come up to the stove where i'm going to
dissolve some agar agar in some apple juice a just a little pinch of
sea salt now what is agar agar?
well, it's these little flakes and they actually
come from a sea vegatable
and what they do is they act like a gelatin that's what's going
to really hold this whole tofu whip together they're very nutritious
and all you have to do is sprinkle them in a little bit of simmering apple
juice
and the trick here is to really staying with it you have to keep whisking it so
that the agar agar won't stick to the bottom of your pan
and that's what i've already done what happens is it just thickens up the apple
juice it's syrupy like
and we can just put that right into this tofu whip even though it's hot
it's not going to be a problem at all
right into the blender it goes
here's what i'm going to do now it's going into the refrigerator
and
chill down and set up the agar agar is what's going to allow it to set
see how it is now
it's definitely too creamy, too milky
and i know that can taste yummy but it's not quite the texture that you want for
a dessert sauce i have another bowl here because i thought ahead
good and here we have it here
now you can see how it shows that the consistency of that is much different
now what you want to do is right before you're ready to serve it
put it back in your blender and let it blend in just a little bit longer to
bring it back to that smooth creamy whip tofu is filled with calcium
and lots of other vitamins and minerals in it
okay
oh that did a great job of doing that this is the perfect summer
dessert
fresh berries don't do anything to them just clean them and cut them
we have strawberries here today, raspberries, blueberries,
delicious!
you have yourself a lovely
fruit treat or fruit dessert
there you have it! (music)
