A Pail full of Blueberries and a Creamy Dessert
Chances are good that you will see quite a few recipes featuring blueberries this week on Artsy-Foodie. We went blueberry picking and brought home 13 pounds of blueberry goodness.
I made some jam and chutney that afternoon but still needed a dessert for our dinner. I decided to whip up a pudding with silken tofu, the homemade jam and some of the fresh blueberries. I have been making a chocolate version of this tofu pudding for fifteen years now and it's always a hit. I thought that the creaminess of the tofu would work well with the delightful blueberries. The pudding was a perfect compliment to the sweet, juicy berries and I love how easy it was to put this delectable dessert together.
Easy Blueberry Pudding (serves 4)
Ingredients:
12.3 oz carton firm silken tofu
1/2 cup of fruit juice sweetened blueberry jam
1 teaspoon GF vanilla extract
2 cups of fresh sweet blueberries
Additional jam for decoration (optional)
In a food processor, blend the tofu with the jam and the vanilla extract, scraping the sides once in a while. Process until completely smooth and transfer to a bowl. Add the fresh blueberries. Divide into 4 bowls and add a dollop of blueberry jam on top of each portion.
And one more recipe for your enjoyment...

My mom is mad about this kind of desserts (she uses farmers' cheese instead of silken tofu) and she would even eat them for breakfast. Lovely blueberries! Keep them coming :D
