homemade purely decadent peanut butter zigzag
Posted by Celine on May 16, 2007
cross posting this like a nut, but it’s definitely worth the ado:
I’m an ice “cream” fiend, and this recipe totally satisfies my cravings, for way cheaper.
I used the agave nectar option, and added little chocolate sprinkles during the last five minutes of prep. oh and when you take the batter out of the fridge before turning it into ice cream, it is so thick that I can definitely see it being used as a cupcake topper, provided the cuppers don’t stay out of the fridge or cool area for too long.
ps: I had taken a pic of the result, but the one on the recipe site is far prettier, so there you have it.

I love the idea to put peanut butter into the ice cream. But what about the silken tofu? How much tofu-aftertaste is there? Does the peanut butter take it away?
Are you planning to make some of the other great ice cream recipes from that page as well? And should we get us some liquid nitrogen? (Most important question :p)

no aftertaste at all! in fact, I just had some now [again] and it is the tastiest damn thing I’ve ever eaten. I promise, you mostly taste chocolate and pb.
I’m thinking of tweaking the recipe with different flavors [butters, too], but nah, not that other ice cream she speaks of in her latest entry. I’m too conservative for that. ;p

How great! I already bought some maple syrup yesterday, put my ice cream maker into the freezer and now only have to get me some peanut butter. (jumps in excitement)

Celine, this is the best vegan ice I have ever tasted, maybe it’s even the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted. I finally got some pb and took out my ice cream maker.
Back in the sad days when I was a junk food vegetarian I used to love Snickers. When I became a healthy vegetarian I would grab one from time to time too, because I couldn’t live without it. When I became vegan I lived without it. And guess what. My ice came out tasting exactly like Snickers. Now I have to cry. (I don’t understand why I can get so exided about food but that’s the way it is…
