OMG--that looks amazing! Unlike you, though, I could never limit myself to just one spoonful.
I was thinking that instead of trying to make it fat- free or super low-fat, I'd try to meet it somewhere in the middle. I'd try replacing the heavy cream with half & half and the whole milk with 1% or2%. I'm not a big fan of ice milk, so I hope this would yield something closer to the real thing.
Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Margot,
I bought the ice cream maker last summer, and have had good luck making lower fat ice creams by using fat free half and half and dried milk in the ice cream base. I use 2 cups fat free 1/2 & 1/2, one cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup dried milk and 1/4 cup pastry cream filling mix, plus sugar and egg. I'm pretty sure I have even used Egg Beaters for the egg, but it's been months, so I'm not sure about that part. Definitely experiment with it, and enjoy every bite! ~ MaryJane
