Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream...no icecream maker... no problem ;)

[smo1017]

Okay, so I have a little extra time on my hands



I didn't have an ice cream maker so I followed these directions and it worked

http://sci-toys.com/scitoys/scitoys/thermo/ice_cream/ice_cream.html

Here is the recipe

1 large egg (0.6 Carbs)
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (6.4 Carbs)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (1 Carb)
6 packets Splenda (6 Carbs)


Total Carbs per recipe: 14 Carbs

I am not sure about the carbs per serving size though. So be CAREFUL!


Procedure:

Whisk the egg in a bowl till it’s fluffy. Should take a couple of minutes. Whisk in the sweetener for another minute. Pour in the cream and vanilla and keep on whisking for another 2 minutes. Pour this concoction into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer.

That sounds to good to be true, now if there is a way to have it in a low carb cone.

I can't figure out where all of the 14 carbs are coming from?

Re: Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream...no icecream maker... no problem

cream and eggs and splenda is where the carbs are coming from.

This is commonly known on the low-carb circuit as Ziplock icecream. You'll find varying recipes for it - and yep..it works!

However!!! : It's not induction friendly (unless you eat a spoonful) - and you've gotta be careful with this stuff cuz it's loooooaaaaaaddddddded with calories.

We don't count calories..but they do count, so be warned!

I use 2 coffee cans a 1 lb and a 3 lb. Pour the mixture into the inner can. I only use cream, splenda, and vanilla and or cocco. Place the small can inside the larger can and pack ice and salt around it in larger can. Using 2 small children have them roll it back and forth to each other for about 20 mins. The only problem with this method is you usually wll have to share with the 2 above needed children

Okay, that got me chuckling! But what a great idea! I bet the kids have a blast making it too!

I was all gung-ho to make the ice cream a few weeks ago, but then I talked myself out of it becuase I wanted to wait until I got to the dairy rung. Once I got to dairy rung though I'd forgotten about it - thanks for posting this great idea & putting it back to the top of my list in my User CP section!
