Mine says you can. Tofu - try with the quorn stuff in the chiller perhaps?

 

[MattsMum]

My asda sell it with the vegetarian foods. It's in a white carton.

Thanks will keep an eye out next time, is greek yog the best to use? i'm thinking a baileys icecream would be fab!

 

[Pinkie1973]

I often make myself the equivalent of a pint, of a soya milk/banana milkshake. I might try this today in the ice cream maker and see how it goes.....?

 

[Circes]

Just remember that you need to syn bananas if you mash, blend or puree them

 

[Pinkie1973]

Yes, but I do anyway for the shake.

I have an ice cream maker but have never tried using yogs in it ....... is the texture really like ice cream? Or is it more like frozen (ie/ icy) yog??

Thanks, x

Just made the aforementioned banana ice cream. 2 ripe bananas and 300ml from unsweetened soya milk (chilled) HEa allowance, dessert spoon of sweetener (possibly not necessary). Whizz it all up first, then pop it in the machine till it starts to set (15 mins?). I didn't have to chill it as I keep the soya milk in the fridge. It is gorgeous. The soya milk gives it a lovely creamy after taste, and has a lovely light texture. Beautiful. Comes to 8 syns, because as Circes pointed out you have to syn the bananas where they are whizzed up. But it made two very large portions. I may finish it all today. I may not.

Where do you get the tofu from? i can't say i've ever heard of it or seen it. I've had an icecream maker for years and used it once for frozen yogurt. Wonder if you could make sorbet in it?

Yes you can make sorbet in it. Silken Tofu is not in the chiller as that's a different type of tofu. It is in a carton and found with lentils, split peas etc. I got mine in Asda but know that some Sainsburys stock it

it has the texture of Mr Whippy- a soft icecream. Really creamy - especially Greek yog

I made it with the WW yoghurt and I'd call it a light fluffy texture.

I ordered my gino machine from Robert Dyas last Friday and it's due to be delivered today/tomorrow. It's been a long wait when I'm looking at these photos!!
Anymore dairy free recipes?

Silken tofu comes in a carton - in my asda it's with the beanfeast and baked bean/tomato aisle- it's not fresh , it can last for ages in the cupboard x x
