Tau Huay, also known as tofu pudding, is a beloved Chinese dessert that has delighted taste buds for centuries.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Pandan leaves
2-3 leaves, tied in a knot
Water
4 cups (for boiling)
Sugar
1/2 cup (adjust to taste)
Gypsum powder
1 teaspoon
Soy milk
4 cups, preferably unsweetened
Optional sweet syrup
to taste (made from sugar and water)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the gypsum powder in 1/4 cup of warm water and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the soy milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the sugar and tied pandan leaves to the soy milk. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Heat the soy milk until it is hot but not boiling (around 180°F or 82°C). Remove the pandan leaves and discard.
  5. Slowly pour in the dissolved gypsum powder mixture while gently stirring the soy milk to combine.
  6. Continue stirring for about 1 minute to ensure the mixture is well blended and smooth.
  7. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
  8. Pour the mixture into individual serving bowls or molds.
  9. Allow the tau huay to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy! You can drizzle with a sweet syrup made of 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in 1/2 cup boiling water for an added touch.

Tips

  • 💡 Feel free to experiment with different toppings such as fresh fruit, coconut milk, or even a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
  • 💡 If you don't have gypsum powder, you can substitute with cornstarch mixed with water, but the texture will be slightly different.
  • 💡 To enhance the pandan flavor, you can blend the pandan leaves with a small amount of water and strain it before adding to the soy milk.
