How to Make Banana Date Tofu Pudding
- Press 1 block (14oz) firm or extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. Wrap in paper towels and place a heavy object on top for 10 minutes.
- Peel and chop 2 ripe bananas into chunks.
- Remove pits from 6 Medjool dates and roughly chop them.
- Cut the pressed tofu into small cubes.
- Combine the tofu cubes, banana chunks, chopped dates, 1 tablespoon corn oil, ½ cup water or soy milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a high-speed blender.
- Blend for 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until completely smooth with small date flecks remaining.
- Pour the pudding into 4 small (½ cup) resealable containers or a large bowl. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
