FAQ
Unfortunately no, regular tofu is too firm and won't create that smooth, creamy texture you need. Silken tofu is essential for this recipe.
A torch will give the best results but you can also use your oven's broiler setting instead. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
The filling can be made ahead of time and rest in the fridge for up to 4 days.
