Almond Stuffed Tofu Cubes Food

ALMOND TOFU

Steps:

• Dissolve the gelatine with boiling water, dissolve in the sugar.
• Add warm milk and essence.
• Using a shallow dish (or 2 or 3), pour the jelly in, to around 1cm deep/high.
• Meanwhile, dissolve brown or raw sugar in hot water to taste, make it a little sweeter than usual so it's the right sweetness after adding in the fruit salad.
• Add the fruit salad, chill well.
• When the jelly solidifies, cut into 1cm cubes, and add to the chilled liquid.
• Do NOT add the jelly into hot or warm liquid! Make sure the liquid is at least cold before adding them inches.
• Add more sugar to the liquid if required, otherwise ready to serve!
• p.s. cooking time = chilling time.
