Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 * Exported from MasterCook * Mixed Berry Fool Recipe By :Marilyn Glenville Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 pound mixed berries of the season 8 ounces soft tofu -- chilled dash vanilla extract maple syrup to taste a liitle soy milk -- chilled Mixed berries contain proanthocyanidins, which are excellent antioxidants. They are useful in preventing osteoporosis since they stop the destruction of collagen and strenghten the collagen matrix. With their powerful antioxidant properties, they also play a major part in the prevention of heart disease and strokes. This tangy fool is also rich in phytoestrogens from the tofu. Reserving a few of each type of berry for decoration, put all the ingredients except the soy milk in a blender or food processor. Process well until smooth. If too thick, let down with a little soy milk if necessary to give a good consistency (it should be like cream whipped to soft peaks). Spoon into clear glasses and decorate with the reserved berries. Chill briefly before serving. Variation: If you have the time, puree half the berries on their own with some maple syrup to taste and build up layers of fool and puree in the glasses for a really attractive effect.
