I've made tofu-based ice creams before but don't like them as much as the coconut milk ones--but anything with chocolate is good as far as I'm concerned. :)Rickihttp://dietdessertndogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-81599650943558850852010-12-23T23:32:37.405+11:002010-12-23T23:32:37.405+11:00Thanks Joanne - I loved the idea of thickening the...Thanks Joanne - I loved the idea of thickening the ice cream with tofu to make the "custard" because other recipes used arrowroot for thickening and I didn't have any - hope you enjoy it<br /><br />Thanks Lisa - quite novel isn't it!<br /><br />Thanks Lorraine - the strawberry ice cream was amazing - need to eat more of this sort of ice cream<br /><br />Thanks Cakelaw - dolly gets to taste a lot at the moment - tonight it was tomatoes and tofu - my guess is that she enjoyed the chocolate ice cream more :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-32894493456252092492010-12-23T21:09:40.671+11:002010-12-23T21:09:40.671+11:00I was the same as a kid - I thought ice-cream was ...I was the same as a kid - I thought ice-cream was a second best dessert.

I love the sound of your ice cream ebing dark and slightly bitter, I find most ice creams too sweet. I'd love to try experimenting with a real ice cream maker though.<br />Have a great ChristmasKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008246307753272616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-46959968771140288622010-12-22T16:37:46.639+11:002010-12-22T16:37:46.639+11:00What an amazing afternoon!

Definitely keen on the sound of the peanut butter ice cream and, as a fellow non-ice-cream-maker-owner, like your tips on making ice cream without one :) And I think I would've liked the slightly more bitter taste of yours!Hannahhttp://wayfaringchocolate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-42485011636418329132010-12-22T16:36:17.614+11:002010-12-22T16:36:17.614+11:00Thanks so much for giving it a go!

When she died a few years ago I asked if I could keep it as a memento. There's a lot of icecream love in my family. :-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.com
