Tofu Green Tea Ice Cream

Made with tofu, soy milk and honey instead of sugar, this ice cream is a healthy alternative to the standard. Green tea has been associated with an increased metabolism, making it a valuable weight loss tool.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 4 tea bags green tea
  • 1 cup honey
  • 12 ounces lowfat firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 kiwi fruit peeled and diced
  • 1 cup lowfat whipped topping
  • 3 drops green food coloring, optional

Instructions

  1. Place milk and tea bags in a medium-size saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
     
  2. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, but no more than an hour. Using two spoons, gently squeeze absorbed milk out of tea bags and discard bags.
     
  3. Transfer the liquid into a large measuring cup. Add honey until volume has increased by 1 cup.
     
  4. In a blender, combine green-tea milk, honey, tofu, vanilla, kiwis and food coloring, if desired. Blend until smooth (approximately 2-3 min.)
     
  5. Pour blended mixture into a bowl suitable for freezing. Gently fold the whipped toping into the blender mixture. Cover and freeze for 5 to 6 hours or until firm.
