juice along with the tofu, scraping down the sides of blender or processor

and blending until smooth. Add honey, vanilla, lemon zest and agar mixture

and blend until well mixed.

 

3. Remove 2/3 of the tofu mixture and set aside. Blend 1/4 c. cooked beets

into the remaining mixture for color.

in ice for 15 minutes to allow the mixture time to set. Then add a pink

layer and chill. Finish off with a white layer.

ready to serve, garnish with fresh fruit.
