The basics for the ice cream!
This can be low calorie by simply substituting for skim options and less sugar.
32 ounces "milk products"
1/2 cup "sugar product"
2 tsp flavoring of choice
2 tsp cornstarch
(pour into a small amount of the milk product and shake until fully mixed.
Then add to the rest of the ingredients to avoid chunks)
Mix well and pour into ice cream maker and freeze by instruction manual for 30 mins. Add "mix ins" and continue to freeze for another 5 mins. Transfer to freezer. Recipes without actual cow milk products will take much longer to freeze.
"Milk Products" - I prefer to use 1/2 whipping cream for my milk products and fill the rest with full fat coconut milk or vanilla almond milk. Whipping cream has VERY low levels of lactose and my son tolerates it just fine. Whipping cream vs almond milk/coconut milk is creamy vs sorbet texture.
"Sugar Product" - I use brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or white sugar. My son tolerates all of these and I use the flavoring I'm going for to dictate which one I use.
This is truly a flexible recipe and can be adjusted to what your body can tolerate. It can also be worked to be lower calorie. Get creative!

ReplyDeleteYes! Put into a "tupperware" container and stick into the freezer. Pull it out and stir it up every couple hours.
