Easy, elegant and you'd never guess there's tofu in there unless you're the cook! This recipe is kid friendly and makes a great protein packed breakfast, afternoon snack or dessert. Ingredients:
1 package silken tofu |
8 ounces cream cheese (vegan alternative - soy cream cheese) |
3/4 cup milk (vegan alt - soy milk) |
15 ounces canned pumpkin |
1/2-1 cup brown sugar (use up to 1 cup to taste) |
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice |
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom |
2 cups granola cereal |
Directions:
1. Puree all ingredients, except granola, in a blender.
2. Put 1 tablespoon of granola in the bottom of each of 8 parfait cups or pretty glasses.
3. Divide the pumpkin mixture among the glasses, over the granola.
4. Garnish with another tablespoon of granola in each cup.
5. Chill for 20 minutes and serve.
6. NOTE: if you are not planning on serving the parfaits right away, do not assemble them.
7. Keep the pumpkin mixture in a bowl in the fridge until you are ready to serve and then assemble with the granola.
8. There is no need to chill the parfaits if you assemble them this way since the pumpkin will already have chilled.
