Whew, this month flew right by. It's already time to post February's Daring Baker's Challenge. Rules being what they are, we're required to paste word-for-word the following sentence:
The February 2009 challenge is hosted by Wendy of WMPE's blog and Dharm of Dad ~ Baker & Chef.
We have chosen a Chocolate Valentino cake by Chef Wan; a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Dharm and a Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from Wendy as the challenge.

The flourless cake that was chosen involved 5 eggs, so there were a lot of choices out there to make it vegan. I chose to use silken tofu instead, which turned out all right, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what the other vegan daring bakers did. For the ice cream, I decided to make vanilla ice cream with a twist ~ soy-free, almost sugar-free vanilla ice cream featuring...avocado! It may sound a bit strange, but it tastes great and it has a gorgeous green colour. I used my favorite agave nectar instead of sugar, so that's why I say "almost" sugar-free.

I love the ice cream idea! Avocados are great for creaminess!Great challenge.
LOVE the avocado ice cream. Avocado is GOOD fat (as I always remind myself with every bowl of guacamole I devour..lol). Beautiful job on the cake too!
Avocado ice cream rules! I love sweet dishes with avocados, well, and savory ones, too!
I just love the green colour of the avocado (yipes!!!!) ice cream. I hope that the vergan version was delicious. Cheers from Audax in Australia

The green ice cream looks great with your cake. I've recently discovered the joys of avocado desserts.
