Using a sharp knife, peel and stone (pit) the mangoes
and coarsely chop the flesh. Place the flesh in a
blender or food processor with the coconut cream and
silken tofu.
-
Add the maple syrup and process to a smooth, rich

This smooth dessert has a truly tropical taste. Few
fruits are quite so luscious and sweet as mangoes and
their slightly resinous flavor is superbly complemented
by coconut cream. Add the magical texture of silken tofu
and you will achieve perfection in a glass.
Cook's
Tip: Make sure
that
you buy pure maple syrup
for the best favor.
Variations:
Silken tofu con also be used
to make a berry fruit fool. Tip
a
200g/7
oz pocket of silken tofu into the bowl
of a food
processor and odd 175g/6oz hulled strawberries,
raspberries
or blackberries. Process the mixture to a
smooth puree, then scrape into a bowl and sweeten
with a little honey, maple syrup or maize
malt syrup.
For a delectable tofu smoothie, blend
2 bananas with 400g1140z silken tofu, sweeten
with honey, and favor with almond extract. For
best results, cut up and freeze the tofu first.
