Ingredients
- ⅓ cup boiling water
- 4 gelatin sheets (0.4 oz, 10 g; 2.5 g per PerfectaGel Gold gelatin sheet)
- 6.2 oz firm silken tofu (I used Mori-Nu brand)
- 5 Tbsp honey
- 1½ cups unsweetened soy milk
- ½ tsp almond extract
For the Strawberry Sauce
- ½ lb strawberries
- 1 Tbsp honey
- ¼ lemon
For the Garnish
- mint leaves
- fresh berries
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. You‘ll need 5 ramekins that are 4 oz (120 ml) each.
- Combine ⅓ cup boiling water and 4 gelatin sheets in a bowl or measuring cup. Whisk together until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Cut 6.2 oz firm silken tofu into 1-inch cubes and add them to a food processor. Add 5 Tbsp honey and 1½ cups unsweetened soy milk and purée all together.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the gelatin mixture and ½ tsp almond extract and whisk without making too many bubbles.
- If you‘d like your pudding to have an extra smooth texture, run the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve (optional).
- Ladle the mixture into individual ramekins. Chill in the refrigerator until set, for at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the strawberry sauce. Cut ½ lb strawberries into small cubes and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add 1 Tbsp honey and the juice from ¼ lemon.
- When the pudding is set, run a knife around the pudding to loosen. Turn over onto a plate and shake gently to release the pudding. Pour the strawberry sauce on top and garnish with mint leaves and fresh berries on top.
