Silken tofu certainly lives up to its name in this silky-soft pudding flavoured with seductively rich chocolate. This sexy, protein-packed treat gets an extra boost of love with potassium-rich maca root, which is thought to have mood- and libido-boosting powers. The maca root lends a slight butterscotch flavour to the pudding, which also gets a shot of cinnamon and cayenne. When topped with a cherry compote, the result is a luscious and creamy delight.

Silken tofu
Made from coagulated soy milk and unlike other forms of tofu, silken tofu is not pressed. This contributes to its creamy and blendable texture that’s perfect for desserts and smoothies. Find it at Asian grocery stores.
