This one seems easy enough. I just bought an ice cream maker for my kitchen aid and im hopeing this works out great for myself and family.

I haven’t stumbled on one of these yet so I make mine the cheater way–I put mine in a sealable container (jar or Gladware) and set the timer while cleaning to go off every 5 minutes. I then shake the container and back into the freezer it goes. Not as smooth, but certainly good for getting a “fix” and very easy. (Plus, I am horribly lazy about cleaning! This gets some done.)

That ice cream looks so delicious. We don’t eat much sugar either but I would always use sugar in ice cream like you do and not one of the substitutes. They just don’t taste the same. I like honey but not in ice cream.

I just want to mention that after years of struggling to find or make a non-dairy ice cream that isn’t too heavily processed, too high in sugar or based on soy, I finally hit on using coconut milk. It has the fat essential for a really creamy ice cream and some brands are available without lecithin or another soy-based additive. Now when I want ice cream, I just pour out a can of organic coconut milk, add another cup of homemade nut milk (usually almond milk), some vanilla and whatever fruit or chocolate or other flavors I want in it, and sweeten it delicately with honey, maple syrup, agave or stevia. I control everything that goes into it. Then I pop it into the freezer, and since I don’t have an ice cream maker, I just stir it a few times while it’s freezing. The next day I let it soften for about an hour, put it into the blender or processor, and process it until it’s really smooth. Then it’s all ready to go! Just an idea for anyone looking for a different kind of ice cream. :) I’m definitely jealous that you have an ice cream maker. I keep thinking about getting one but I’m trying to reduce the gadgetry in my kitchen. So far this is working!

cool! It could also be made sugar free by substituting stevia or other natural sweeteners like agave or honey and you would have a nice healthy treat!
