Ankeny, Iowa, October 7, 2025— The Soyfoods Council offers the new, free digital recipe brochure, Soy Sweet Induglences: 12 Celebration Dessert Hits on its website. Today’s trendiest desserts not only taste great, they gravitate towards less sugary choices made with better-for-you ingredients. As you gear up for the holiday season, soy foods help achieve those goals without sacrificing taste or texture.
Smartly sweet and lightly sweet dessert ideas help you add protein and accentuate the flavors you love for dessert. Plant-forward recipes fit in with a healthy approach to eating while keeping the indulgence factor high through the holidays and beyond. Interspersed with recipes and photos, the brochure offers a dozen year-round dessert ideas along with tips for soy-izing your favorite family recipes. Add plant protein to desserts by incorporating soy foods such as silken tofu, soymilk and Textured Soy Protein (also known as TSP or Textured Vegetable Protein, TVP).
The recipe brochure helps you tap into trends like fruit-based desserts, next generation versions of ice cream including Chocolate Tofu Ice Cream, and sweets featuring global ingredients such as Dubai chocolate and Miso Caramel Sauce. You’ll also find updates on nostalgia flavors such as the Chocolate Peanut Butter Tofu Tart.
Make Tofu Whipped Cream using a blend of half heavy whipping cream and half soft silken tofu. It’s a versatile dessert topping, garnish or ingredient in updates of classic desserts such as Raspberry Fool. The no-cook chilled dessert calls for frozen raspberries, powdered sugar and Tofu Whipped Cream.
For Lightly Sweet Date, Oatmeal and Textured Soy Protein Cookies, the sweetness comes from chopped dates and ¼ cup brown sugar. The plant protein comes from ½ cup soft silken tofu and ¼ cup Textured Soy Protein. Keep in mind that a ¼ cup serving of TSP is a fiber-rich, zero fat ingredient that boasts 11 to 13 grams of soy protein. Oatmeal, 1/3 cup of flour and ¼ cup of butter round out the cookie ingredients.
Luxurious ingredients such as the global sensation Dubai Chocolate elevate traditional desserts. Dubai Chocolate bars are enhanced by pistachio cream and kadayif (strands of shredded phyllo). Dubai Chocolate Brownies can be made with a boxed brownie mix. Atop baked brownies, spread a melted Dubai Chocolate bar mixed with jar of pistachio. Chill, and at serving time add a dollop of Tofu Whipped Cream.
