An experiment.

A common Soya ice cream that anybody can make

Equipment:
- Blender or food processor
- Ice cream machine (the kind with the tub you chill in the freezer works fine, and they cost less than $50)

Ingredients:
1 tetra box firm silken tofu (like Mori-Nu) -or- 8 ounces soy yogurt
Between 3/4 to 1 cup plain soy milk
1/3 cup maple syrup or brown rice syrup (or a combination)
2 tsp vanilla


Directions:
Combine all 4 main ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until thoroughly combined and smooth. Blend in any desired flavoring ingredients (see below). Pour into your ice cream machine, and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.

Add-ins:
For various flavors, add to the food processor:

For Banana Soy Ice Cream, blend in 2 ripe bananas

For Strawberry Soy Ice Cream, blend in 12-16 frozen and partially thawed strawberries.

For Pineapple Soy Ice Cream, blend in 1 can or 1 cup of pineapple (well drained). You may want more sweeteners.

For Ginger Soy Ice Cream, add either 1/4 cup preserved ginger or 1 to 2 inches grated fresh ginger (for preserved ginger, add to food processor so it gets ground up).


Use your imagination to come up with new flavors!

Flavored liqueurs or syrups are a great way to add punch. Try creame de menthe and chocolate chips, or coffee liqueur, or instant coffee powder...

Do you want to take a step forward to help others know the benefits of Soya milk?

Oops…I have gone mad. Everybody wants this, isn’t it?

Of course every good for health food is less tasty than not so good for health foods. Otherwise nobody in the world will fall sick. Health care industry will be the worst business to enter in.

So we take a not so healthy item and make it with the help of a highly healthy ingredient. Yes I am talking about ice creams and Soya milk.

So we made ice cream with vanilla flavored soy milk, and usually add bananas and blueberries at about the half way point. It is delicious, healthy and satisfying. We have used other fresh fruits as well, such as peaches and strawberries. We have also made chocolate ice cream with the chocolate soy milk, and added nuts and tiny marshmallows.
So wht r you guys waiting for! Just gooooo.. for it…
