Recipe submitted by annette ooyevaar

Tofu Chocolate Ice Cream (no dairy)

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 box 12 oz. Mori Nu Soft Silken Tofu, do not use low fat, do not drain
    1 12 oz. bag vegan chocolate chips, melted on low heat and cooled
    1-2 Tblsp. Vanilla - you can use whatever flavor you like
    1 cup Rice Milk (you can substitute with soy milk, Almond Milk etc.)

Directions:

Put the tofu in a blender and process until very smooth.  Add the melted, cooled chocolate and process until well combined, you will have to stop and scrape the sides of the blender.  Add the rice milk and vanilla and process until well blended. Pour into a covered container and chill until ready to use.

Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturer directions.  This makes a lot of tofu ice cream mix so you may only be able to freeze part of it.  I use my Donvier, which is really easy, I have ice cream in 15 minutes without ice, salt or a lot of cranking.  My family loves this recipe and it can even be made with melted high quality white chocolate.  Enjoy!

Serves: 8

Preparation time: 15 minutes


Oh yeah, yeah yeah I love it! When you first put in the tofu and chocolate, it tastes like pudding. (keep in mind I sample EVERYTHING as I go) My non- veg fiancee is in love with this too. I recommend Trop Source chips, and for extra heaven, throwing in some strawberries (think about it- chocolate covered strawberries, and its all vegan!!! Smiley HIGHLY RECOMMENDED silverlover69@aol.com

This never makes it to the ice cream stage - we eat it as mousse and its always a hit for company!  I use malt-sweetened carob chips and a teaspoon of coffee for a mocha taste.

Think you don't like tofu? Think again!  Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! I used Silk Soylatte for the liquid, and added a dash of cinnamon and a drop of almond flavor - spectacular!! As soon as this is all gone - which won't be long - I'm planninng to try using some different fruits and flavorings in search of a treat that's just as yummy and a teensy bit healthier Wink I'll have to save this for special occasions!

The recipe sounds great, howe'ver:  Mori Nu Soft Silken Tofu This isn't something I'm familiar with - I'm guessing that it is a brand name, and a brand that isn't available up here (Oz).  (Yes, up. Northern Hemispherians have been looking at the world upside down for centuries...) Wink Anyway, can someone elaborate/translate this one for me? I'd really like to give this recipe a try.

An elaboration/translation:  about the tofu- I'm going to try this with Nasoya brand tofu, silken, which is the brand up here.  I'm pretty sure any brand would probably do.  We just bought an ice cream maker that works like this: you freeze the bowl, then the mixer mixes the ingredients and then you freeze it. I think this is the type the recipe is referring to.

I'm in Oz too, I use fresh silken tofu of any variety from the asian supermarket, or I think you can get it from Coles.

Oh my! You don't have to be vegan or vegetarian to love this. I just made a batch in the blender and I'm not sure its going to move on to the ice cream maker. This stuff is so good. Were just using Whole Foods brand chocolate chips.

Archived comment by: sgarcia
WOW!!  This is amazing...so rich, dense, and chocolatey!  This has the texture of gelato, I believe--super creamy and dense.  The chocolate flavor is pretty intense.  Next time, I may either reduce the chocolate or add another cup of milk.

this turned out really good and you don't need an ice cream maker to do this. i made a couple changes the second time i made this recipe though.... no vanilla, i think it ruined the taste the first time i made it. i also added peanut butter, and used way less chocolate - one 12oz bag is too much. i used about 2/3 of the bag, and kept some of the melted chocolate that i added at the very end to the prapared ice cream. really gave it an extra crunch, it was delicious.

This is the first recipe that I've tried with my new ice cream freezer. I am in love with it!
I only had firm silken, so I added an extra cup of soy milk to thin it out. I also left out the vanilla
and added some chopped cherries. It is so good! I think I'll try reducing the chocolate next time to
make it *slightly* healthier (and cheaper). Has anyone tried it with half a bag?
It was also a delicious mousse before freezing. This is really like two great recipes in one.

Can you make this without an ice-cream maker? I've heard that other ice-cream recipes work without a maker if you take them out every 1/2 hour and stir them - could you do that with this one? It sounds nice and might save us a few bucks rather than buying Swedish Glace.

it might be fine... i would use some chocolate soymilk to keep up the chocolate flavor. the worse it could do is change the texture some--but i think it would still be tasty!

Hi Antarius,
MuNori tofu is a very smooth tofu sold in 12 oz. aseptic boxes.  I think you could substitute 12 ounces of any smooth textured, full fat (not "lite") tofu, and have no difference at all.

I made this again last night, reducing the chocolate chips to half a bag. I also used chocolate soy milk, as baypuppy suggested. It worked perfectly! I couldn't tell any difference texturally, and it still had a rich chocolate flavor. I added 1/2 c. crushed 365 oreos. So good! I'm thinking about cutting the chocolate chips to 1/4 of the bag next time. This recipe is so versatile!

Crap. What happens if I messed up and got lite tofu? Eh I probably ruined it anyway, because I don't have an ice cream freezer. I just poured the stuff into a tupperware container and put it in the freezer. It might not set up like ice cream, but we'll see.

SarahBeth4Christ,
It might be a little late, but you can improve the texture if you stir it every 30 to 40 minutes while it freezes. Or, not really stir, but scrape it up with a fork. I know this is a method for making sorbet without an ice cream maker. Alternatively, If you've already frozen it solid, break it into chunks and put them in the blender. This will give you a soft-serve consistency.

I was suspicious that this would taste like a block of frozen tofu, and it did. I only tried it because so many people loved it, but I thought it was gross. I am going to try to invent my own icecream maybe using soy creamer? If I come up with something I will post it Smiley

This looks so yummy! Homemade frozen soy yogurt is my weakness, so i am looking forward to give tofu cream a shot. I am wondering however, if this would work with cocoa powderfor the chocolate?

I think it would actually be fine to use the lite tofu.  Go for it!
