Lemon Cream with Berries!

Aug 9
It seems I was onto something with the last recipe I posted! I’ve had a few requests for another dessert-style recipe. This is another really easy and healthy alternative for those who have a sweet tooth like my wife!
  • 1 Tbs. finely grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 Cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 – 2 lemons)
  • 1/2 Cup honey
  • 1 Cup (about 12 ounces) drained silken tofu
  • 1 Cup berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
  1. In a blender, puree 2 1/2 teaspoons of the lemon zest, the lemon juice, honey, and tofu until smooth. Scrape down sides of the blender with a flexible spatula as necessary.
  2. Divide lemon cream evenly among 4 servings and top with the berries and remaining lemon zest.
This is great, low fat dessert that has only 180 calories per serving. I typically advise people to stay away from tofu but it can be consumed as an occasional treat. Enjoy!
