Mixed Berry-Almond Gratin

How simple and delicious are berries topped with a rich custard and baked into a crusty dessert (or breakfast) gratin. No one will ever guess that you've replaced much of the butter in traditional almond cream with tofu.

Spread berries evenly in the prepared gratin dish. Scrape the almond mixture over the top, spreading evenly.
