A first for me using tofu. I decided to give tofu a try since I"ve been a vegetarian for quite some time now and never really had the desire to try it until talking w/a friend on another recipe site. This recipe was posted as one to give a try. So, I did. A lovely texture and taste not unlike using plain yogurt. I stayed w/the recipe other than subbing blackberries for the strawberries. Used maple syrup for the sweetner. A great recommendation for a first time user.
