Ingredients
Serves 9
Quantity | Ingredient | Add |
---|---|---|
1 envelope(s) unflavored gelatin | ||
¾ c. cranberry or orange juice | ||
5 oz. silken tofu | ||
1 c. vanilla yogurt | ||
¼ tsp. vanilla | ||
2 tbsp. honey | ||
red food coloring, optional | ||
½ c. finely chopped strawberries | ||
sliced fresh fruit, optional | ||
½ c. pureed fruit, such as bananas or peaches, optional |
Directions
- Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cranberry juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until gelatin dissolves, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and add remaining 1/4 cup juice.
- Put tofu, yogurt, vanilla and honey into a blender container and whirl until very smooth, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides.
- Pour pureed tofu mixture into gelatin mixture and stir together to blend well.
- You can also add up to 1/2 cup pureed fruit (such as bananas or peaches) to the blended tofu mixture.
- If using cranberry juice and a more intense red color is desired, add a few drops of red food dye.
- Cover and refrigerate until mixture is the consistency of raw egg whites, about 1 hour.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries. Pour mixture into 9-inch-square pan and refrigerate until firm.
- To serve, cut into 1-inch cubes. Serve the "kubes" on plates with sliced fruit on the side to be arranged as the kids desire.
