TOFU LATTE SPICE CREAM
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
How good is this for dessert?! High protein ice cream! I love you vegans for giving me fantastic recipe and food ideas! Super easy to whip up, and you don't even have to freeze it; try it just chilled in the fridge as a mousse...rich and creamy.
I have also made choc strawberry frozen tofu by adding melted dark chocolate and strawberry puree, and am going to be trying many more ideas too. I think most fruits will work well with this. Has anyone tried making tofu ice cream?

Are those ceramic cups or paper cups? They are so cute. Where did you buy them from? :)

This sounds...actually amazing. Am a bit in love with tofu and also with ice cream, even though frozen tofu sounds a bit random I have a feeling I'll be trying this very soon.

Tara - I've linked to where you can buy the ceramic cups from above :)
Laura - it sounds random, but it tastes awesome! let me know what you think! -
it's not vegan if theirs honey in it...maybe sub with agave?
-
I didn't actually say it was vegan...I just found similar tofu ice cream recipes on vegan websites that's all. But yes agave syrup would work fine, I have used it in the past as well :)
