OT needing ice cream experts

DH is a very good sport about our 'fat-free' diet but ice cream used to be
such a favorite of his. So. Therefore. I am going to invent wonderful ice
cream that doesn't contain egg yolks or fat. The stuff at the grocery
leaves an after-taste much like Mop 'n Glo and I'm sure 'we' can do better.
One of the recipes I've found calls for an envelope of powdered whipped
topping. That sounds like it might work. The recipe calls for TWO teaspoons
of vanilla to make only 2½ cups. The ice cream freezer is big enough to
double the recipe but I'm thinking four teaspoons of vanilla is going to be
waaaaay too much. The 'theory' is that your tastebuds are dulled by
something frozen and ice cream needs a heavy hand with flavoring. I'm going
to need some guidance as well as some taste-testers. Naturally, there will
be chocolate cake to go with it. Polly

If all else fails, try the Low Fat Ice Cream
Sandwiches. Some brands are Klondike, Skinny Cow, and
Weight Watchers, IIRC. My fav is the Klondike. Even non
dieters like these! I don't think they taste like Mop n
Glo, but it has been ages since I've indulged in a MnG
cocktail!!

DH & I both really like Weight Watchers English Toffee Crunch Ice Cream
Bars. I can eat one of them and stop. If I'm dishing up ice cream, I think
I have to fill the bowl heaping.

Well, you see, Donna. Therein lies the problem. Back when DH and I were
courting, Mama would use her dainty little crystal ice cream dishes for
everybody except my DH. He was always served in the big Pyrex mixing bowl
with the chip in the rim. She knew a serious ice cream person when she saw
one. Polly

When I was a kid we would have big family dinners in the summer when the
Illinois relatives came to visit. My 4 uncles, after eating huge amounts of
food, would then proceed to have an ice cream eating contest. We're not
talking small cereal or dessert bowls full, we're talking big vegetable
serving bowls. We usually had these dinners at the house of my uncle & aunt
who were dairy farmers. They would buy ice cream from the creamery in big 5
gallon containers. All of us could make a very serious dent in the 5
gallons especially with the contestants doing their bit to empty those big
cardboard cans.

wonderful ice cream that doesn't contain egg yolks or fat.

It's called "sorbet" and it probably predates ice cream by centuries.
Inventing it would put you alongside that Australian who recently
patented the wheel.

Every 'sorbet' I've ever tasted is *nothing* like ice cream. It's the
creamy- not just the cold and sweet- that is the attraction..
