REFRESHING RHUBARB AND TOFU LAYERED DESSERT

Steps:

• For your rhubarb layer first combine the potato starch and 1 tbs of water in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Place chopped rhubarb, 1/4 cup water, applesauce, almond extract and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat until boiling, then reduce heat and simmer until rhubarb is tender and pieces start to break up. Depending on how chunky or smooth you prefer your fruit sauce, keep on cooking for another few minutes.
• When sauce has reached desired consistency, stir in the prepared starch and water mixture. Stir until thickened and remove from heat. Allow to cool. Then stir in cream cheese.
• To make your tofu layer place all of the ingredients listed in your blender and blend until smooth. I use a hand-held blender for this. Depending on how firm your tofu is, you might need to add a little more applesauce to get it to the right consistency.
• To assemble your dessert, place about 2 tbs of the tofu cream each in two parfait glasses, top with half of the rhubarb sauce and top with remaining tofu cream. Sprinkle some carob powder on top if you like.
• Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Enjoy! :).
