No fair!!! Only 5 stars? This deserves 10!!! So smooth and rich it is hard to believe it is so low in fat and sugar. The buttermilk gives it a nice zing. I used low-fat buttermilk and sugar-free Cool whip. I topped it with roasted almond slices. The filling would be great as a mousse without the crust. Thanks for an elegant, yet healthy dessert! Made for My-3-Chefs 2008.

I graduated from the University of Delaware's HRIM program in '06.
Been several years since I was last active and experimenting, but I'm coming back into it.
I used to be vegetarian (even had a touch of the veganism), and I still love me my veggies, but I also love me my meat. I will never stop liking tofu no matter what. Don't knock until you try it cooked PROPERLY. Tofu is so easy to mess up.
