Tips & Tricks
Ensure the tofu is silken for the creamiest texture.

FAQS
Can I use firm tofu instead of silken tofu?
Silken tofu is recommended for its creamy texture. Firm tofu may result in a grainy texture.
Can I use a different sweetener instead of maple syrup?
Yes, you can use agave syrup, honey (if not vegan), or any liquid sweetener of your choice.
How long can I store this ice cream?
You can store it in the freezer for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
Can I skip the peanut butter?
Yes, but the peanut butter adds richness and flavor. You can substitute it with another nut or seed butter if desired.
What plant-based milk works best for blending?
Almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk work well, but any plant-based milk can be used.
