DIRECTIONS:
- Set the tofu blocks in a wire sieve or cheesecloth lined colander and let drain 20 minutes to overnight, covered and stored in the fridge.
- Combine tofu (or cashews if using) lemon or lime juice and honey in a powerful blender, Vita-mix or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Approximately 4 – 6 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add a little of the liquid options suggested. Stop and start motor, scraping down sides as needed. Taste and adjust sweetness and consistency adding more honey, lemon juice or milk if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
- Set out parfait glasses or bowls. Arrange layers of berries, hemp seeds, granola and lemon crème. Garnish with a generous dousing of cinnamon and some lemon zest.
TERI'S TIPS:
- For a refreshing change use lime juice and zest instead or 3-4 drops lemon or lime essential oil. OH WOW!
- Choose a grain and gluten-free granola alternative, if desired
- Make this into a company worthy dessert by drizzling with limocella, Cointreau, Cassis or Grand Marnier
