Mojito Frozen Dessert--Vegan Style

It was a hot and humid day when I came upon a yummy-looking recipe for Mojito Frozen Dessert, which I decided to veganize. I changed the crushed pretzel crust into a granola crust, and I used Tofutti cream cheese and Morinu tofu to make a whipped topping. Everything else was pretty much the same. Just be sure to have at least three limes and a small bunch of fresh mint on hand. This is a simple dessert to make when you are hot and some guests are coming later that night. Make it several hours before you serve it, as it has to freeze up first.
