This is a basic but fairly healthy adaptation of some recipes I found in the book, The Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt Cookbook(by Mabel and Gar Hoffman, great recipes!)--I wanted something healthful, but I found using the fat free yogurt gave my ice cream a bit of a twang I couldn't get rid of, and the end products I kept getting were a little stiff. This adaptation of some their recipes goes as follows:
Ingredients:
Not Ben and Jerry's, but a nice treat if you are watching your calories. Will try instant cheesecake flavored pudding next, with some frozen blueberries added....
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk (146 cal)
- 1 t plain Knox gelatin (5 cal)
- 8 oz of Mori-Nu Lt. Tofu (95 cal)

- add 1 t of gelatin to .5 c whole milk and let stand for one minute. Microwave on med-low power for about a minute, or until gelatin is dissolved when you wisk it through. Set aside for a moment.
- in a food processor, add and puree the tofu, the splenda, and the vanilla.
- after well-blended, add the gelatin and milk mix. Process again.
- add the remaining .5 cup whole milk. Process til smooth.
