- 12 to 14 oz box of soft tofu
- 1/4 cup corn oil
- 1/4 cup water or soy milk
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 10 whole, pitted dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Open up the tofu, and drain off the water. Peel the bananas and cut them into chunks. Cut the tofu into small cubes and place it in a blender. Add the corn oil, water or soy milk, banana chunks, dates, vanilla and salt. Process for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth with small date flecks blended throughout. You may have to stop the blender, and scrape down the sides a few times during blending. Pour the pudding into small 1/2-cup-sized, resealable plastic containers, or a big bowl. Keep in the fridge for hungry children to snack on, or put in healthy lunchboxes for a protein rich desert. This is a great recipe for people who don’t like tofu. They can get friendly with it in a nonthreatening atmosphere. This pudding uses fruit as it’s only sweetener. You will be surprised at just how sweet and delicious the combination of bananas and dates can be.
