Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Frozen raspberries
Provide the main fruit flavor and, when frozen, a thick, icy-smooth texture once blended.
Soft tofu
Adds creamy body and protein-rich thickness without dairy, giving the purée a smooth mouthfeel.
Granulated sugar
Sweetens the purée and balances the tartness of the raspberries.

The step that matters

Process until smooth, then taste. Frozen fruit and tofu must be blended thoroughly, scraping the sides, so no icy or grainy bits remain. Tasting afterward lets you adjust sweetness, since frozen fruit can taste less sweet and flat when cold.
