I’ve made decadent, and I mean show-stopping, chocolate tofu pudding and things like coconut custard that blows my mind, and since I’ve been making creamy desserts and tofu puddings to satisfy my sweet tooth (and and feed my muscles at the same time). It’s so guilt free!

Also, you will be surprised, tofu is not just for savory recipes! Yes, I love to make tofu satay and a healthy stir fry tofu… but did you know silken tofu is the best for healthy desserts?

With mango season upon us, the yellow mangos are abundant at the store. I couldn’t resist whipping some mango silken tofu pudding, and once again, found guilt-free sweet satisfaction in a cup!

Let’s go!

What Is Mango Tofu Pudding?

Mango tofu pudding is a blended dessert made with silken tofu and fresh mango, lightly sweetened and chilled until smooth and creamy. It’s a one-of-a-kind treat that is more than sweet; it’s loaded with nourishing vitamins and protein from the magic ingredient… silken tofu.

The tofu creates a naturally silky texture without needing cream, while the mango brings brightness, sweetness, and that signature tropical flavor.

You can barely taste the tofu and the simplicity of this recipe makes it that much better.

It’s best eaten right away after chilling and can be mixed up in minutes!

FAQs

Does it taste like tofu?
No, the mango masks the tofu flavor very well. It just tastes creamy and smooth. The tofu flavor is very light.

Can I use frozen mango?
Yes, just thaw it first for easier blending. Some frozen mango might require more sweetener.

Is this healthy?
It’s a lighter dessert with protein from tofu and natural sweetness from mango. The ingredients are very few, which makes this dessert much better than many commercial desserts.

Can I make this ahead of time?
You can, but it’s best fresh for color and flavor. Preferably, eat it the same day.

Can I make it thicker?
Not really. The blend of mango ratio to tofu makes the balance and flavor just right. Adding more tofu will greatly alter the flavor.

What about using firm or soft tofu?
The flavor will taste more like tofu and the recipe will be grainy.

This mango tofu pudding is very simple, fresh, and surprisingly satisfying. Add it to your healthy snacks and sweet treats and enjoy!
