Strawberry, Raspberry, or Cherry Jelled Fruit with a Tofu Crème Layer

 

Recipe By :The Passionate Vegetarian, Crescent Dragonwagon

Serving Size : 5 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Passionate Vegetarian

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 cups boiling water -- preferably spring or filtered

1 3 oz box Hain SuperFruit Naturally Flavored Dessert

Mix -- (strawberry, raspberry, or cherry)

1 recipe Tofu Crème

1 1/2 cups frozen, no sugar added strawberries,

raspberries, or black cherries

additional fresh fruit and mint sprigs -- optional

 

Have ready five 1-cup serving dishes, preferably glass, so you can see the

colors and layers of the finished dessert. (Or use custard cups, lighted coated

with cooking spray, and reverse the salad out onto a plate at serving time.)

 

Measure the boiling water into a 4-cup Pyrex glass measuring cup. Add the

Hain's and whisk like crazy, until the mix has dissolved (it will be clumpier

initially than regular gelatin, but it will dissolve; just keep whisking.)

 

Scoop out 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the dissolved Hain's. Buzz it into the Tofu Crème.

 

Stir the still frozen fruit into the dissolved Hain's. Almost immediately, it

will start to set up. Spoon about half of the mixture into the prepared cups,

then spoon the Tofu Crème over that, and top with the remaining Hain's mixture.

Cover, refrigerate until cold (at least 1 1/2 hours), and serve -- in the cup,

reversed out, and garnished or not as you prefer.

NOTES : I just love these layered in glass parfait glasses. They could be salad

or dessert. They are definitely retro and a little low-brow, but never have I

fed them to anyone who didn't love them.
