You can eat it cold too. If you don't have ginger, that is fine too. Soy sauce alone suffices. Yes, wasabi is optional, though it gives the dish some kick. For a slightly Chinese taste, add sesame oil.

Tofu Ice Cream Parfaits
Yield: 6 Servings
2 c Soft tofu 2 tb Maple syrup 1/2 Ripe banana 1 ts Vanilla extract 3 c Sliced strawberries or Kiwifruit |
|
In a blender or food processor, puree tofu, maple syrup, banana, and vanilla until very smooth and creamy. Pour into a shallow pan and freeze overnight or for 8 hours.
Just before serving, cut frozen tofu mixture into small chunks and quickly blend to the consistency of ice cream. Spoon into dessert glasses, alternating layers with sliced strawberries. Serve immediately.
Note: Although the banana is hard to replace since it adds creaminess and masks any telltale soy taste, almost any fresh fruit in season can be substituted for the strawberries or kiwifruit. Try blackberries, peaches, pears, and apricots for variety.
