Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Mangoes — Use ripe and sweet mangoes for the compote to ensure a flavorful and juicy topping.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a creamier texture, blend the silken tofu until smooth before layering it in the dessert.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the arnibal syrup and mango compote according to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
  • Garnish the Taho with crushed peanuts or toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
  • Experiment with different fruit compotes such as strawberry or pineapple for a variety of flavors.
  • Serve the Taho chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.

Serving advice

Serve the Homemade Taho with Mango Compote chilled in individual glass bowls or cups. Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts or toasted coconut flakes for added texture and visual appeal.
