Vegan Tofu Choco Banana Recipe
This vegan tofu chocolate dessert is the perfect guilt-free treat to enjoy during the holiday season.
With Christmas just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to enjoy festive moments with family and friends. What better way to celebrate than with a delicious and healthy dessert? This Tofu Choco Banana is super easy to make, making it a fun activity for kids during the holidays and a treat the whole family can enjoy together.
If you’re hosting Christmas gatherings or festive catch-ups, serving a homemade dessert is a thoughtful way to show you care. Since desserts are the best way to bring people together, adding a little extra joy to the season!
If you’re worried about tofu not complementing the rest of the dessert—don’t worry! In this recipe, cooked banana works as a setting agent. The delicious and strong banana and cocoa powder neutralize the tofu taste, yet the tofu still delivers a rich and creamy texture—perfect for the holiday season.
INGREDIENTS
- 300g (10.oz) banana flesh, sliced
- 300g (10.oz) silken tofu
- 25g (.oz) pure cocoa powder
- 50ml (1.fl oz) soy milk
- 30g (1oz) unrefined sugar
Garnish and filling
- 2 medium-sized bananas, peel and cut into
- 1cm (.in) thick for filling and slice thinly for garnish
- Some chervil leaves
METHOD
1. Heat the sliced banana in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook until well mashed.
2. Place the tofu, cooked banana, cocoa powder, soy milk and sugar into the food processor and process until smooth.
3. Spoon half the tofu mixture into the bottom of the serving dish. Layer on the sliced banana. Top with the remaining tofu mixture. Refrigerate until cool.
4. To serve, garnish with thinly sliced banana and chervil leaves.
5. Alternatively, you can serve this in individual glasses. Spoon half the tofu mixture among six serving glasses.
Place equal amounts of banana in each glass, spreading it over the tofu. Top each glass with the remaining tofu. Refrigerate until cool.
I hope this festive dessert brings a little comfort, joy, and nourishment to your holiday season.
Wishing you all a cozy Christmas filled with good food, happy conversations, and moments of togetherness.
Warm Christmas wishes,
Yoshiko
