One of the ingredients I've been wondering how to use up is silken tofu. I have three boxes of the stuff. A favorite food blog of mine suggested making a berry mousse out of it: one block silken tofu, 1-1/2 c berries (I had frozen strawberries), 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla. Blend and blend in a powerful blender or food processor, until silky smooth. We did; and wow. Delicious. And startlingly healthy. I could even have used less sugar. Right now it's kind of a runny texture but in the fridge it will supposedly set in a couple of hours. Jordan did not wait.
Next: I'm cooking fish tonight and I've stopped even fantasizing about slathering mayonnaise onto things, I'm so WW-trained, but aren't you supposed to be able to make mayonnaise out of silken tofu? You can. I did. Amazing. It is so luscious and lovely, I want to eat it with a spoon. And I can, with no guilt! One block tofu, a sprinkle of vinegar (I used rice vinegar), a sprinkle each of salt and sugar. Blend until creamy. Try varying the kind of vinegar, or use lemon. Try different sweeteners. I also added a teeny clove of garlic. Other spices would be great, I'm sure, I just wanted to keep it basic this time.
I still have another box. suggestions?
