Leno REGUSHADZE, the author of Crazy Cucumber, shares how to deal with boring tofu and turn it into keto vegan dessert.
Some products are very difficult to make friends with. For me, one of these was tofu and I still can hardly believe it is good for keto vegan dessert. For a long time, I tried to find an approach to bland tofu. And finally, I have something for you. If you love the idea of adding tofu to your menu, stay tuned, because new tasty stories are coming soon!
FYI. Tofu is a soybean curd with a very neutral taste and wonderful texture. Contains a lot of protein. There are hard tofu, soft or silk tofu, and tofu with the addition of eggs.
So, today we are having a chocolate parfait made of silk tofu – a nutritious and delicious vegan dessert without eggs, cream, or butter, rich in iron and calcium.
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 3
Carbohydrates: 6g
Ingredients
- 250 g silk tofu
- 45 g erythritol
- 20 g cocoa powder
- 5 g instant coffee
- vanilla
Instructions
- Before cooking, remove tofu from the package and leave for 10 minutes to get rid of excess water.
- In a cup, mix cocoa powder, coffee, and sweetener, add 4 tbsp boiling water and mix till all the ingredients dissolve. Bring the syrup to a boil over low heat, turn off the heat, add the contents of the vanilla pod and cool down.
- I used Balinese coffee: it is very finely ground, and I did not even have to strain it. Espresso or instant coffee are also good.
- In a blender, mix tofu with the chocolate syrup until evenly creamy. Put the mixture into parfait glasses and cool in the fridge. Garnish with strawberries and chocolate beans before serving.
