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!!

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.. Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. "Jack Campin - bogus address" wrote in message ...

Polly,
I just made some wonderful ice cream, though a far cry from "fat free". It called for the traditional "custard" to be cooked on stove top (eggs, cream, etc), and while it was cooking, it called for an entire vanilla bean, split open lengthwise and the little seeds scooped out. After it was put together with all of the other ingredients, it called for an additional 2 tsps of vanilla. I thought that was overkill too, but the flavor was divine. Why not split the difference and put in 3? Or...... use two, plus a vanilla bean. After I simmered the bean in the ice cream custard, I rinsed it off and dried it on some paper towels overnight, and then tucked it in a little plastic container with about 2 cups of sugar. I hear that vanilla sugar is spectacular for baking. Patti in Seattle |

Polly, I don't qualify mine as low fat, but it is egg free so maybe it
will help you with the ratios.... and everyone always raves.... it's really simple... just use the directions that go with your maker for procedures ...here you go: Vanilla 2 cups whipping cream 2 cups half and half 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Chocolate 2 cups whipping cream 2 cups half and half 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Jan RCTQ Coffee Diva On Jun 14, 5:37 pm, "Polly Esther" wrote: DH is a very good sport about our 'fat-free' diet but ice cream used to be such a favorite of his.

Naturally, there will be chocolate cake to go with it. Polly The other part of it is that fat carries flavor. Less fat means you have to bump up other things to get the same taste. That's likely why so much vanilla. We're doing strawberry sorbet tonight. It's actually hot here and the produce delivery had a beautiful basket of strawberries in it. No fat, no eggs, but definitely different than ice cream. Later in the week we'll have blackberry frozen yogurt. You can use any fruit you like. It's more like ice cream than sorbet. I quart plain non-fat yogurt 1 C sugar 1 C crushed fruit (berries or peaches are my favorites) Stir up until sugar is dissolved and pour into ice cream freezer. I keep thinking I will play around and make chocolate one day but I never have. marcella |

Then, put a blindfold on DH and ask him if he can tell which one is
chocolate, and which one is vanilla - it could be hours of entertainment!
