Rosy raspberries, bold blueberries, and luscious white clouds of "cream" layered in wine glasses become a patriotic finale for the Fourth of July and Flag Day or any other day you crave the red, white and blue.

Ingredients

White Layer:
1 (12.3 ounce) box of soft tofu, drained, refrigerated until cold
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened at room temperature
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
Blue Layer:
1 pint fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Red Layer
1 pint fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Garnish
1 almond biscotti, crumbled
Fresh mint leaves

Directions

White Layer:
In a medium bowl, mix the white layer ingredients with a hand mixer.
Blue Layer:
In a small bowl, toss the blue layer ingredients.
Red Layer:
In a second small bowl, toss the red layer ingredients.
Whip the tofu mixture until fluffy.
Let berries sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
To assemble, spoon 1 inch of blueberries into a tall wine glass or parfait cup, top with a dollop of "cream", spoon 1 inch of raspberries on top, followed by another dollop of "cream", and repeat.
Top with crumbled biscotti and a couple of mint leaves.
Keep cold in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
