How to Make Refreshing Rhubarb And Tofu Layered Dessert
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon potato starch and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside.
- Combine 1 cup chopped rhubarb, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup applesauce, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or to taste) in a medium saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rhubarb is tender and begins to break down (about 8-10 minutes).
- For a smoother sauce, continue simmering for a few more minutes.
- Stir in the prepared potato starch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 1 minute).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, gently stir in 4 ounces (113g) vegan cream cheese (or regular cream cheese).
- For the tofu layer, combine 1 (14-ounce) package silken tofu, 1/4 cup applesauce, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add more applesauce, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- To assemble, layer about 2 tablespoons of the tofu mixture in the bottom of two parfait glasses or small bowls.
- Top with half of the rhubarb sauce.
- Add another layer of tofu mixture, followed by the remaining rhubarb sauce.
- Sprinkle with carob powder (optional).
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
