Description

A creamy and nutritious vegan ice cream made with silken tofu and peanut butter, perfect for satisfying cravings without guilt.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 28 oz. silken tofu, drained
  • â…“ cup plus 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter, salted
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons powdered peanut butter, unsweetened, or vegan protein powder
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, optional
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup melted refined coconut oil, optional

Instructions

  1. If using an ice cream maker with a removable canister, freeze the canister for at least 24 hours before making ice cream.
  2. In a blender, combine all ingredients except the melted oil. Blend on high speed until completely smooth.
  3. With the blender running, drizzle in the melted oil until fully incorporated.
  4. Churn the mixture according to the instructions for your ice cream maker. The texture will be similar to soft serve initially.
  5. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for 3 to 4 hours to firm up.
  6. Once frozen overnight, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure the silken tofu is well-drained to avoid icy texture. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup as desired.
