Wild Strawberry Ice Cream
After I gave up dairy products, I told myself that it was impossible to make natural, dairy-free ice cream, so I did without this delicious food for eight years. I was completely mistaken. Every element in dairy-based ice cream has a healthy vegan counterpart. And vegan ice cream it doesn't taste like insipid commercial "dietetic" ice cream! See for yourself:
3 cups soy milk or nut milk
1/2 cup drained silken tofu
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup grape seed oil or canola oil
1/4 cup vegetable glycerin, barley malt, or honey
1/4 cup lecithin granules
2 tablespoons chopped fresh lemon balm or other wild mint (or 2 teaspoons dried, finely crumbled)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoon liquid stevia
1 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)
1/2 teaspoon orange extract or 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange rind
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups strawberries

1. Place all the ingredients in a blender except for 1 cup of the strawberries and process until smooth.

2. Add the remaining strawberries and blend a few seconds on low speed until they are just chopped.

3. Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Makes 5 1/2 cups
