Tofu Choco Banana
This Friday is Good Friday, meaning Easter is upon us this weekend! What better way to celebrate the occasion than with a delicious, and healthy dessert? This Tofu Choco Banana is super easy to make, meaning it could be a great activity for kids to attempt, and the whole family to enjoy. If you are planning on having guests over, giving them the gift of a delicious dessert will be a great way to demonstrate your skills and show them how much you care about them. Desserts are one of the best conversation starters, so give this a try!
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 neutralizes the tofu taste, yet the tofu still delivers a rich and creamy texture.

- 300g (10.oz) silken tofu
