- Open your silken tofu and give it a good stir. You want it to be smooth like silk (duh!) and creamy, not curdy or chunky. If it’s looking a bit wonky, just blend it in a food processor until it’s silky-smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vanilla extract, and egg replacers. We’re using egg replacers here because we want this custard to be vegan-friendly – but feel free to use eggs if you’re not worried about dietary restrictions!

- Pour the wet ingredients into a blender or food processor with the silken tofu. Blend on high speed for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times – just be patient!
- Transfer the mixture to 4-6 ramekins or custard cups (depending on your serving size). Dot the top of each ramekin with a bit of melted vegan butter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still slightly jiggly. Don’t overbake – we want this to be silky smooth, not scrambled!
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Dust with confectioners’ sugar if you’re feeling fancy.

- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread softened vegan butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Mix crumbled silken tofu, eggs (or flax eggs), cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Spread this mixture over the buttered dough.
- Roll the dough into a tight log, starting from the long side. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each roll. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Tips: To prevent the rolls from spreading too much during baking, chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking. Also, make sure to not overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough rolls.

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (1/2 stick)
- 3 large egg replacers (e.g., flax or chia eggs)
- Confectioners’ sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Mix crumbled tofu, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and egg replacers. Add melted butter and stir until combined.
- Gradually pour dry ingredients into the blender with tofu mixture and blend on low speed until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
- Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to allow gluten to relax.
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough into balls, about 1/4 cup each. Flatten slightly and bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries with granulated sugar (about 2 tbsp per cup of berries). Let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes to allow juices to release and strawberries to soften.
- To assemble, place a shortcake on a serving plate, top with a spoonful of strawberry mixture, and repeat. Dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired (but let’s be real who needs it? This dessert is perfect as is).
This Silken Tofu Strawberry Shortcake is a game-changer: the creamy tofu adds an unexpected richness to the classic shortcake, while fresh strawberries bring that quintessential summer sweetness. Try serving with a scoop of coconut whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a show-stopping dessert.
