I was looking through the Food section of our local paper today and it's
on vegetarianism.  There were some interesting (and some not so) recipes.
 Two of the ones that I thought sounded good might work for you.  One
uses Almonds, so I'm not sure about that.

Peach Ice Cream
(From Feel Good Foods in Santa Cruz)

1 1/4 c toasted almonds
9 ripe peaches, peeled
1 tbsp vanilla
2 cups Rice Dream
1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup maple syrup

In a blender, pulverize nuts.  Add peaches and puree.  Add remaining
ingredients and blend.  Follow manufacturer's instruction for your ice
cream maker.  Optional:  Saute fresh berries in a dessert wine such as
Bonny Doon Framboise for 2 minutes.  Spoon over ice cream.  Serves 6.

Strawberry Tofu Shake
(From "Delightful Tofu Cooking")

1 cup soft tofu, drained
1 cup soy milk
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, washed, drained
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla

In a blender, blend the tofu, soy milk, strawberries, sugar and vanilla
until very smooth.  Chill in refrigerator before serving.  Serves 2.
