This is a great recipe if you are cooking for those who avoid dairy products. It's super easy to make and the banana and strawberry are great together. Another time I might also add a little lemon juice to the mix. Cautionary note, or why you should follow the instructions: On the morning I made this, I was unexpectedly called away. This meant I never got the opportunity to beat the semi frozen mixture at step 3. That said, I'm afraid I probably wouldn't have bothered to do this :-) as I don't normally rebeat ice cream mixtures when specified! In this case, the finished result was a bit ice crystal-y. I guess that's the difference between using tofu as opposed to yogurt or cream. Note to self, in future Mrs B, do what Annisette tells you!
