<Miwa’s tips>

・If you are using a large apple then microwave it for 6 minutes. I recommend to cook it until it’s really soft and tender.

・You can not use firm tofu in this recipe. Make sure to use custard type of tofu.

・If your ice cream is hard like a sorbet, leave it at room temperature for 15 minutes!

・The the ice cream itself is not too sweet, feel free to drizzle with maple syrup when you serve it.

<Storage time>

Store it in an air-tight container in the freezer for 1 week after it’s made. Please keep the apple and ice cream separate.
