Silken Tofu Pudding with Mango Sauce
Remember the first time I tried silken tofu pudding? It was at a tiny, hidden dessert spot in San Francisco, and the creamy texture paired with the sweet mango sauce blew my mind. Since then, I’ve been obsessed with recreating that perfect balance at home, and after a few trials (and errors), I’ve nailed it.
Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) silken tofu
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the silken tofu, water, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Tip: For an extra smooth texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
- Pour the mixture into 4 small serving bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set. Tip: The pudding sets best when chilled undisturbed.
- While the pudding chills, make the mango sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced mango, honey, and lemon juice. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens. Tip: For a smoother sauce, blend the cooked mango mixture until desired consistency.
- Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and top each serving with the mango sauce. Serve immediately.
But the real magic happens when you take that first spoonful—the silky pudding melts in your mouth, while the mango sauce adds a bright, fruity contrast. Try garnishing with fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Silken Tofu Matcha Ice Cream

- 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions
- Drain the silken tofu by placing it between two paper towels and gently pressing to remove excess water. This ensures a smoother texture for your ice cream.
- In a blender, combine the drained silken tofu, coconut milk, maple syrup, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Tip: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes for about 4 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Cover with parchment paper directly touching the surface to prevent ice crystals, then seal with a lid. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Tip: For an extra touch, serve with a sprinkle of matcha powder or fresh berries on top.
