How to Make Refreshing Rhubarb And Tofu Layered Dessert

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon potato starch and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. For a smoother sauce, continue simmering for a few more minutes.
  5. Stir in the prepared potato starch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 1 minute).
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, gently stir in 4 ounces (113g) vegan cream cheese (or regular cream cheese).
  8. 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.
  9. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add more applesauce, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. To assemble, layer about 2 tablespoons of the tofu mixture in the bottom of two parfait glasses or small bowls.
  11. Top with half of the rhubarb sauce.
  12. Add another layer of tofu mixture, followed by the remaining rhubarb sauce.
  13. Sprinkle with carob powder (optional).
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  15. Enjoy!
