There are several ways to make ice cream from silken or soft tofu. You need silken tofu, sweetener, salt, and soy milk or coconut milk to make the base; if you aim to keep the recipe fully vegan, granulated coconut, beet sugar, or agave syrup are the best choices. Some recipes suggest adding coconut oil to give the ice cream a richer mouthfeel.
First, blend the silken tofu, sweetener, and salt until combined. Some like to add soy milk or coconut milk to loosen the mixture and make it easier to blend. Then, slowly add the coconut oil; stick to a medium speed and be sure not to over-blend the ingredients. The ice cream base you’ve created can be added to an ice cream maker, which transforms it into a delicious non-dairy dessert. If you don’t have an ice cream machine, no worries. Place your ice cream into a container and put it in the freezer.
