YES it can be done!
In most of my raw desserts I use a nut base, but today I wanted something different. So I thought why not try tofu! It’s not considered a raw ingredient but hey, it worked! Tofu has a very mild taste, blends well with anything, and takes on the taste of whatever it’s mixed with.
Whether firm or soft, tofu turned out to be the perfect main ingredient for my ”Tofu Creme” pie.
1 cup of dates pitted
Blend in food processor until crumbly
1. 1 block of tofu
2. 3/4 cup of almond butter
3. 3/4 cup of tahini
4. 1/2 cup of raw honey
5. 1 tsp of vanilla, almond, maple or even butterscotch flavoring!
6. 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
Mix steps 1-5 in high-powered blender until thick and creamy
Adjust ingredients to your liking
Pour mixture into nut crust
Freeze until firm
Adding step #6… Coconut oil is optional and will give your pie an even firmer texture.
The pie is then topped with a “cashew whip”… which is created by soaking the raw cashews for one hour
then drain and blend in a high-speed blender with a bit of orange juice.
For a sweeter cashew whip you can add 1-2 soaked pitted dates or a squeeze of Agave nectar
Enjoy!
