Has Anybody Tried the Atkins Ice Cream?
have you tried LeCarb frozen dessert? I like it compared to the Atkins
product and it is about half the cost. A wider variety of flavors, as well. Some people like it, some people hate it. About 3-5 carbs per serving, based on the flavor. Can often be found in the freezer at Super Wal Marts or at grocery store called "Brookshires" (different from brookshire brothers). "Stardancer" wrote in message k.net... Howdy; At $19.96 per half gallon I though I would get some impressions before I buy. Regards and THANKS Dan 08/21/03 266/251/200 |

Has Anybody Tried the Atkins Ice Cream?
500 ml whipping cream
1 vanilla pod Splenda to taste, but I use a LOT - 250ml. 3 egg yolks In a heavy-based pan, beat egg yolks together with splenda till thick and gloopy (forming 'the ribbon, ie holding its shape for a few seconds). Meanwhile, put cream in saucepan with vanilla pod, bring to boil, turn off heat and leave to infuse for 20 minutes. Scrape seeds from vanilla pod and mix into cream. Bring cream back to boil, and pour SLOWLY onto egg yolk mixture while beating. Set pan back on very low heat. Stirring with a whisk all the time, heat slowly until custard coats the back of a spoon. Scrape into freezer box. Put in deep freeze. Remove every hour and whiz quickly in food processor. I like to do this at least five times because this ice freezes quite hard; it isn't as much trouble as it sounds. If you don't have a processor, the wire whisk and a spatula will do. After that freeze hard for a few hours. Then place in fridge (not room temp) for 30 minutes at least before serving. Enjoy! Carb count is just the cream and splenda, and a trace from the vanilla and egg. It's delicious, and there are no trans fats. -- Jane Lumley |

Has Anybody Tried the Atkins Ice Cream?
I've never seen Atkins icecream in 1/2 gallon containers. Our stores
carry Atkins Endulge Frozen Dessert in individual 1/2 cup servings - is this the same stuff? I also like to make my own lowcarb icecream. The problem I have is when I freeze it in individual containers to eat later. The stuff gets hard as a brick. I end up having to leave it out for a bit (or even pop it in the microwave for a few seconds on defrost) before I can eat it. Does anyone have any secrets for making creamy low carb icecream that doesn't freeze too hard?

Does anyone have any secrets for making creamy low carb icecream that doesn't freeze too hard? If you make a custard style ice cream, add 1 to 1 1/2 Tb. of alcohol (vodka is good, since it is flavourless) per cup of custard to help keep ice cream soft after freezing. Add the alcohol after the custard cools, to prevent it from evaporating ("cooking off".) Good luck! Lene' |
