Coconut flan

Coconut Flan


1/2 cup silken tofu
1/2 cup maple syrup
pinch salt
2 1/2 cups mixture soy/coconut milk (1 can coconut milk, the rest soymilk)
1/4 tsp agar powder (or about 1 Tbl flakes)

Puree the tofu, 3 Tbl of syrup, and salt in a blender. Divide the remaining maple syrup between 6 oiled flan/custard cups. In a saucepan, simmer the milk and agar until well dissolved. Add the hot milk to the tofu mixture in the blender and mix well. Pour into the custard cups and refrigerate until set. To serve, unmold each cup onto a plate (you can use a knife to pull an edge slightly to let in an air pocket).

Chinese dessert!

One thing I miss about Hong Kong is the dessert restaurants. You can have a complete, balanced (except maybe with too much sugar) meal at one of these places! And there are lots of vegan options! Desserts are made of things like beans, sweet (and not-so-sweet) potatoes, nuts, seeds, fruits, chia, rice, tofu, and so on. Pictured here are cold mango/coconut sweet soup, warm silken tofu dessert with sweet black sesame sauce, and mochi filled with fresh mango and rolled in coconut.

Tapioca Pudding with Strawberries

20100514-20100514-food-31

Tapioca Pudding


2/3 Cup Tapioca Pearls
1/3 Cup Sucanet
1 can Coconut Milk
Sliced Fruit (for topping)

Soak the pearls in 1 cup of water for at least 1/2 an hour. I usually start this soaking just before dinner, and then make the pudding afterwards. Add the coconut milk and sugar to the tapioca mixture and boil, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes, until tender. Add more water as needed if it is too thick.
