After preparing a mediocre dinner, I redeemed myself with this fantastic dessert. Sooo....are you wondering why the "cream" is in quotation marks? Well let me tell you: for all you tofu haters out there, this dessert will change your mind FOREVER!!! So for all the ladies who have men that loathe tofu, make this dessert and I promise they'll be more open minded for the bland, chalky stuff they refer to it as.

I tricked lobster into eating it again - tehe. I said, "you like it?" He said, "yah it's good." I said, "no really, do you reeeeeeally like it?" with a devilish smile. Then he stared at me funny and said, "What the hell - don't tell me there's tofu in here?" Muhahaha....sucker! (insert laughing smiley) He couldn't even tell and you truly cannot taste the tofu whatsoever since it becomes a smooth cream mixed with the honey and lemon juice. Just NUM - makes you want to do the happy dance for your healthy, light, delicious dessert that's truly good for you. Get your protein and fulfill your sweet tooth all in one meal. Yum-May!
