\"dairy<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m half Japanese, so tofu has been part of my diet from the get-go. But it was walled off in savory recipes \u2013 stir fries, doused with shoyu and green onions, bobbing around in miso soup. Never in sweets. Never. When tofu ice creams came on the scene, I wrinkled my nose. I could eat dairy no problem, why would I eat tofu ice cream? Fast forward to this past November, when I went in for a blood test and came out with slightly elevated cholesterol levels. I wasn\u2019t in the danger zone, but it sure gets you thinking about what you\u2019re eating, especially when you thought you were doing pretty well. It\u2019s gotten me to consider things I never would have before, like this lemon pudding with coconut oat crumble<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been keeping a daily food diary as I\u2019ve ratcheted back all the fun things to eat \u2013 red meat, butter, eggs, full-fat dairy, bacon. They haven\u2019t been eliminated entirely, aside from butter, so I haven\u2019t been completely deprived.\u00a0 I\u2019ve started walking 2-3 miles a day in an effort to get that LDL cholesterol down. You\u2019ll notice there haven\u2019t been a lot of desserts on this blog for awhile. \u00a0I\u2019m not saying I\u2019m a saint. I still have ice cream now and then, and if anything I\u2019m eating more peanut butter and avocados than I was before.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t gone so far as to use Earth Balance as a butter replacer, but I\u2019m using olive oil in baked goods. I\u2019ve tried using ground flax in place of eggs in some baked goods (w\/ varied results).\u00a0 I\u2019m following more vegan and vegetarian blogs.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, thinking about a quick dessert to go along with our Easter dinner, I was eyeballing the Meyer lemons I had in the fridge and of course the first thing I thought of was lemon curd.\u00a0 I\u2019d had my eggs for breakfast, so traditional lemon curd was off the menu.\u00a0 I tried a cornstarch-thickened eggless curd, but it was too cornstarchy and didn\u2019t make enough. Then this dairy-free lemon cr\u00e8me with coconut oat crumble popped up on Joy the Baker.\u00a0 It is amazingly smooth, thanks to the silken tofu at the heart of the mix. \u00a0The coconut oat crumble gives you a little crunch and contrasting texture. And I kid you not, it is delicious. \u00a0No qualifiers. \u00a0Not delicious for something with tofu. Just delicious. \u00a0Delicious to the point where I\u2019m now thinking about how I can pull off a Nutella version.<\/p>\n

The good news is with the changes I’ve made over the last 4 months, my overall cholesterol is down 10 points and the LDL is at the high-end of the normal range. Now, just gotta keep it up, er, down.<\/p>\n
