Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 (16 ounce) block silken tofu
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup aquafaba one 15.5 ounce can of chickpeas will be enough liquid for this
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 ½ cups organic powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Use the stand mixer to make the meringue. Start on a slow speed to whip up the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, aquafaba, and cream of tartar. Gradually, begin to increase the speed until it is on high. Then, whip for 6-10 minutes or until the meringue forms stiff peaks.

  • In a blender combine the silken tofu, cocoa powder, and pinch of salt if you are using it. Blend on high until combined and smooth, it will resemble pudding.

  • Slowly, add the silken tofu mixture to the meringue. Fold the mixture together until it is mixed as much as you can. Do this 2-3 times in increments, do not add all the silken tofu mixture at once. Note: mine wasn't perfectly mixed and it was okay, we just want to get it as well incorporated as we can.
  • Transfer into a container. I like to use a loaf pan actually. Transfer to the freezer, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. If you want it to be a harder texture freeze for at least 8 hours.
  • When you are ready allow the ice cream to soften slightly, scoop it out and enjoy.
