Banana and Rum Tofu Ice Cream

If you like to eat puddings every day, it makes sense to look for low-fat and low-calorie alternatives to butter, cream and sugar. On balance, I prefer to eat puddings just occasionally and use the traditional ingredients rather than the ‘ersatz’. Silken tofu is one of those derivatives of the useful soya bean. It is a pale, creamy substance with little flavour of its own and a texture like that of cream, but with only 2.6 per cent fat as against the 48 per cent of double cream.
