Good to know
Chef's tip
For an even more intense flavor, use 100% pure pistachio paste with no added sugar and be sure to drain the silken tofu well to guarantee a firm consistency after chilling.
Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?
Not recommendedThe texture of silken tofu changes when thawed.
Storage : How long does it keep?
Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge.
Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?
YesIdeally made the day before for optimal chilling and better texture.
Reheating : How do you reheat it?
Not reheated. Eat chilled.
Variations
- Plant-based white chocolate version: add 40 g of melted vegan white chocolate for an even denser, more indulgent texture.
- Orange blossom version: stir in half a teaspoon of orange blossom water for a delicate Eastern note.
- Cashew version: replace the silken tofu with 150 g of cashews previously soaked for 4 hours and blended with water.
Mistakes to avoid
- Forgetting to drain the silken tofu, which would make the cream runny instead of creamy.
- Using a sweetened confectionery pistachio paste without adjusting the amount of agave syrup, making the dessert too cloying.
- Adding the crushed pistachios before chilling, as they would lose all their crunch from the moisture.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replace the silken tofu in this recipe?
Yes, you can replace it with 400 g of drained soy yogurt or a puree of cashews previously soaked in warm water.
Can you taste the silken tofu?
No, silken tofu is completely neutral in flavor. It serves only as a natural emulsifier while the pistachio and vanilla provide all the flavor.
What type of pistachio paste should I choose?
Choose a 100% pure pistachio paste, with no added sugar or coloring, to preserve an authentic taste and a lovely natural color.
Is the cream firm enough without gelatin?
Yes, the fat in the pistachio combined with the way silken tofu firms up when cold ensures a smooth, creamy texture without any gelling agent.
