This tastes like a smoothie; good, but not what I was expecting. It DOES NOT have an "ice-cream/sherbet" texture at all.

I aGREE with KREE! haha, this is great! I ate half of it by myself. Although, I stuck it in the freezer afterwards and it was frozen stiff the next day. I'm not sure the fridge is cold enough but maybe it is.

Wow! This is so tasty and refreshing. I don't think I would have guessed it was made with tofu. I made this using one 12.3 oz package of Mori-Nu extra firm silken tofu. I also ended up using an orange-tangerine blend instead of pure orange juice concentrate. It turned out fantastic! So fruity and delicious. I'll be making this one frequently this summer!
