Karen, Quick question...
I tried my first attempt at a low carb homemade ice cream the other day. (Chocolate)
Recipe for a little over a quart is:
4 cup heavy cream
1 tbs vanilla
1/4 cup thicknthin not sugar thickener
2 tsp liquid stevia
1/3 cup unsweet cocoa powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
I mixed ingedients and churned in an electric deni ice cream maker.
For a first attempt and combining ingredients from a couple of recipes, this tasted pretty good. (Still needs some tweeking, but not too bad.)
It was also very creamy until... I put it in the freezer for a while and the ice cream became almost hard as ice. It did this whether I leave in deni cylander or let it thaw a little (from the cylander that was in the freezer) and put into tupperware container and put back in freezer.
Is there anything I can add (preferably natural/healthy) that will keep it more on the softer side while in the freezer... at least soft enough to scoop it out with a spoon?
Thanks,
Dawg
