For a person with no experience in buying Tofu, what would you recommend to look for to ensure success?

Chef Jeena said...

Hi Hanna, the tofu I use is called 'silken tofu' ; it is usually found on the supermarket or health shop shelves in a card type packaging.

If you are in the UK sainsburys sell this type of tofu and most health shops do.

Hope this helps, thank you for visiting my food recipe blog.

Jeena. :-)

can you use powder sugar?

Chef Jeena said...

Hi Kate

Yes this recipe can use powdered sugar also. Slightly more may be needed than the xylitol as xylitol is very very sweet compared to sugar.

Any recipe that uses xylitol sugar can also be used.

Thanks, Jeena. :-)

Hi Jeena,

How long will the cream last?
The reason I ask if I use it as a topping on a cake how long will it last in the fridge?
Thanks

Chef Jeena said...

I would keep a cake in the fridge for no longer than two days topped with fresh soya cream.

To be honest my cakes don't last so long in our house because they get eaten up so quickly.

Thanks, Jeena. :-)

Thanks Chef Jeena for posting this delicious recipe. My son will be year old soon and I'd love to make this cake for him. He can't have the top 8 allergens +. Instead of using (tofu (soy) can I use something else to get that creamy texture?
Thanks
