Tofu and Berry Popsicle Recipe

 

A popular summertime treat is an ice cold popsicle. Kids run to the ice cream truck when they hear its music coming down the street. The downside is that many store-bought varieties can be full of high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors and flavors. For a healthier treat, try celebrity chefs Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos’ Tofu and Berry Popsicles for a refreshing treat.

 

Made with House Foods Tofu, these popsicles offer the added benefits of soy and berries. The recipe brings together sweet berries with the creamy texture of soft tofu.

 

The celebrity couple explains, “Tofu is as versatile as sour cream, heavy cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese or ricotta and has allowed us to bring new life and a healthier component to many of our favorite recipes.” House Foods Tofu is non-GMO verified, certified kosher and gluten-free.
