The Story of Tofutti
In the 1970s, a man named David Mintz owned catering companies. He lived in New York. David wanted to make a special non-dairy ice cream. This was for his Orthodox Jewish customers. They followed rules about not eating dairy and meat together.
David spent nine years trying out different recipes. He used tofu to create his new ice cream. Finally, in 1981, Tofutti products were ready! David Mintz passed away in 2021.
