I have a Cuisinart Professional ice cream maker and absolutely love making ice cream and whoa, I can't wait to try this...but alas, we need to be watchful of fat content. So in my quest to still enjoy ice cream occasionally, I pretty much use all fat free milk products. Fat free 1/2 & 1/2 is especially good, and I sometimes use a can of FF evap skim milk...While it is certainly true you won't get as rich of an end product, for us at least, the FF version is much better than not getting any ice cream at all! Thanks for this post--I will certainly be making this, and well, I'll be using skim milk vs the whole and fat free 1/2 & 1/2 for the whipping cream --BUT I will be adding the ganache with real butter...gotta splurge sometimes! I figure if I take some of the fat out of the milk products, then I can have a little fat in the things I add...Doesn't that seem a fair trade off?? Sounds like a plan to me. Mary@ KAF
