Amazing "ice cream." I used vanilla soy milk which is sweetened, so I added the maple syrup one tablespoon at a time until the mixture reached a good level of sweetness. I thinned it to the thickness of yogurt and threw it in my cusinart ice cream maker. There was a bit too much for the 1.5 qt capacity but it would be fine in a 2 qt machine. It froze perfectly and was super creamy. My non-veg, dairy-loving roommate thinks it is out of this world. I'm thrilled to have a dairy-free desert! Made this tonight.

It's the best I found on my search on google. (Or at least it has the best picture next to it.) I just made my first batch of a slightly modified recipe. It's not fully frozen yet, but I've been tasting it along the way and it's yummy. I used the agave nectar rather than syrup. And rather than peanut butter I used 1 Tbs of Coffee Extract. I like the coffee and chocolate flavors playing against each other. I also didn't melt the chocolate fully, so the chocolate is a bit gritty. I like that textured feel. I threw in some whole chocolate chips as well. I enjoyed playing with this recipe. Big thanks :) Chad Thanks for the recipe. It’s the best I found on my search on google.

Is the peanut butter necessary to the texture? This sounds amazing, and I'd like to try my hand at those variations, too... <blockquote>Definitely! Make up a <a href="http://www.browniepointsblog.com/2005/08/12/chocolate-silk-tofu-cream/" rel="nofollow">batch of the chocolate tofu mousse</a>, add 2 drops of peppermint essential oil to it, and also add more soy milk to get it thinner for the ice cream maker. Have someone who hasn't been smelling the mint come in and test the mint level before you freeze the batter. Add more essential oil as necessary. --McAuliflower</blockquote> Did you ever figure out how to make this chocolate mint? Is the peanut butter necessary to the texture?

You can perform the substitution and get a similar flavor, but I doubt the texture would be the same. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder to hot water and sugar (or syrup) and mix thoroughly into a <em>sauce</em> to add. --McAuliflower</blockquote> Can you use unsweetened cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate chips?
