Refreshing Rhubarb and Tofu Layered Dessert image

This is a yummy, summery vegan dessert, that not only tastes good, but is also very healthy. If youre not a vegan, feel free to use regular cream cheese and if not concerned about sugar intake, just use regular sugar. Also, I dont like my fruit sauces to be too sweet, so feel free to use more sugar than I have listed below. I imagine this would also be yummy with different sorts of fruits, e.g. cherries or peaches.

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon potato starch
1 tablespoon water
1 lb rhubarb, cleaned and chopped
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon Splenda sugar substitute (can use more, if rhubarb is very tart)
150 g vegan cream cheese (if not vegan, use regular)
200 g tofu, chopped coarsely (I used a firm one)
1 -2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
1/4 teaspoon carob powder (optional)

Steps:

  • For your rhubarb layer first combine the potato starch and 1 tbs of water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Place chopped rhubarb, 1/4 cup water, applesauce, almond extract and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat until boiling, then reduce heat and simmer until rhubarb is tender and pieces start to break up. Depending on how chunky or smooth you prefer your fruit sauce, keep on cooking for another few minutes.
  • When sauce has reached desired consistency, stir in the prepared starch and water mixture. Stir until thickened and remove from heat. Allow to cool. Then stir in cream cheese.
  • To make your tofu layer place all of the ingredients listed in your blender and blend until smooth. I use a hand-held blender for this. Depending on how firm your tofu is, you might need to add a little more applesauce to get it to the right consistency.
  • To assemble your dessert, place about 2 tbs of the tofu cream each in two parfait glasses, top with half of the rhubarb sauce and top with remaining tofu cream. Sprinkle some carob powder on top if you like.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Enjoy! :).

I'm not sure I would make this dessert again. It was a bit too tart for my taste.

This dessert is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of tofu, but I really enjoyed this dessert. The tofu is very mild in flavor and it pairs well with the rhubarb.

The rhubarb and tofu combination is a bit strange, but it's surprisingly delicious. The tofu adds a creaminess that balances out the tartness of the rhubarb.

This layered dessert was a delightful surprise! The combination of rhubarb and tofu may sound unusual, but it works beautifully. The tartness of the rhubarb pairs perfectly with the creamy smoothness of the tofu, and the layers of graham cracker crum
