How to Make Almond Tofu: A Simple Guide

Almond tofu, a delicate and refreshing dessert, is beloved for its silky texture and nutty aroma. Here’s a basic recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

- 100g almonds (soaked overnight), 500ml water, 100g sugar, 3g agar powder (or 10g gelatin), a pinch of salt.

Steps:

1. Soak & Blend: Drain soaked almonds, blend with 300ml water until smooth. Strain through a cheesecloth to extract almond milk, discarding the pulp.

2. Sweeten & Set: In a pot, mix almond milk, remaining 200ml water, sugar, and agar powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves and the mixture simmers (do not boil). Add salt.

3. Chill: Pour the liquid into individual molds. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.

Variations:

- Fruit Topping: Add mango, strawberry, or lychee syrup before serving.

- Matcha Twist: Replace 20ml almond milk with matcha powder for a green tea flavor.

- Coconut Milk: Substitute half the almond milk with coconut milk for richness.

Serve chilled with a drizzle of honey or fruit compote. Enjoy this light, healthy treat that’s easy to customize!
