Before you turn away thinking that Tofu ice cream sounds disgusting, let me tell you that it makes for the creamiest, most delicious ice cream ever!! My family loves it and many prefers this ice cream to “normal” ice cream. And – it is so easy to make!
The recipe is, apart from gluten free, also low fodmap, dairy free and vegan.
My daughter found the inspiration for this recipe on-line and I have only made minor adaptations.

Ingredients:
250 ml unsweetened almond milk
200 ml maple syrup
1 tbsp vanilla extract
75 ml raw cacao powder
A pinch of salt
500 g plain tofu
3 tbsp melted coconut oil

Chocolate sauce and chili flakes

1. Combine all the ingredients (except the oil) in a blender. When using a blender, always add the solid ingredients after pouring in the liquids, it blends much better this way.
2. Run until completely smooth.
3. Lastly, slowly add the coconut oil, do not overblend.
4. Pour into an ice cream maker (or, into a container you place in the freezer and take out and stir every 20 minutes until solid) and continue according to the ice cream maker’s instructions.

Serve with a citrus/raspberry sauce (see recipe two weeks ago), bananas and chopped nuts or, as I have done here, chocolate sauce (use search bar to find chocolate sauce posted earlier) and chili flakes.
