vegan pudding revisited

[Guest guest]

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to get back with these pudding recipes-- I didn't forget!

These are from "Tofu Cookery" by Louise Hagler. Like I said before, I thought some of them needed to be played with a little, make them to the taste and consistency that you like. You'll probably need to make adjustments depending on the kind of tofu you use, and if you use granulated or liquid sweetener. I personally try to keep the oil out to make them less fattening, silken tofu might make a creamier pudding if you leave out the oil, or you could try replacing with soymilk. A few recipes use dates to replace sugar, which is a good way to cut back on sugar. You could probably try substituting like that in some of the other recipes too. A few of her recipes called for honey; I suggested some substitutes, but I just typed them in the way she put them in the cookbook. I guess the key here is try and try again!
