Preparation method
- Drain the tofu completely by adding it to a cheese cloth and then measure half a cup.
- Blend all the ingredients except the nut milk till smooth. If the blended mixture turns too thick you can use the nut milk to dilute it. If you are using flaxseed meal, then you need to add the nut milk to the mixture.
- If required, filter to remove the coarse particles.
- Pour to serving bowls. Refrigerate for about 3 to 4 hours. Cut some of the banana into rounds and use as a topping before you serve.
