Vegan peanut butter tofu ice cream

We just bought a cuisinart ice cream maker. I see lots of yummy treats in our future. We just made this yummy ice cream. In our first attempt at vanilla Ice cream we used cashews as our base. It wasn't that great so we came up with this tofu version. I know some of you are thinking, "tofu?" But really you can't taste the tofu and it is so good. I am going to attempt a version with coconut milk and I want to revisit the cashew base and see if I can improve it. But for now this recipe is really great. Let me know if you try it!

16 oz silken tofu
2 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
5 Tblsp coconut oil, refined
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 Tblsp vanilla extract
1 cup medjool dates

1/2 cup peanut butter

Blend in blender and then transfer to ice cream maker.
