- 12 to 14 oz box of soft tofu
- 1/4 cup corn oil
- 1/4 cup water or soy milk
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 10 whole, pitted dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Open up the tofu, and drain off the
water. Peel the bananas and cut them into
chunks. Cut the tofu into small cubes and
place it in a blender. Add the corn oil,
water or soy milk, banana chunks, dates,
vanilla and salt. Process for 2 to 3
minutes, or until the mixture is smooth with
small date flecks blended throughout. You
may have to stop the blender, and scrape
down the sides a few times during blending.
Pour the pudding into small 1/2-cup-sized,
resealable plastic containers, or a big
bowl. Keep in the fridge for hungry children
to snack on, or put in healthy lunchboxes
for a protein rich desert. This is a great
recipe for people who don't like tofu. They
can get friendly with it in a nonthreatening
atmosphere. This pudding uses fruit as it's
only sweetener. You will be surprised at
just how sweet and delicious the combination
of bananas and dates can be.
