Default Good product for those craving ice cream...

My big weakness is ice cream and frozen drinks. I like Carbolite, but it sometimes affects my stomach pretty harshly.

I just discovered Healthy Choice Premium Fudge Bars:13 g total carbs, 3 g sugar alcohol..so 10 net carbs per bar, 80 calories. IMHO, they are very tasty (but it is hard to eat just one). A nice treat.

Atkins makes a good ice cream, they come in individual "hoodsie cups" with a count of 4 carbs. Flavors are vanilla and chocolate - they are pretty good!!

If store bought gives you tummy troubles because of the sugar alchohols, try making your own. Electric ice cream makers are pretty cheap, around $50 and you control what goes in. I sweeten mine with some powdered Splenda and some SF DaVinci sysrup. Adding a little (1 tsp( Xanthan Gum helps with the consistency. I don't make ice cream too often though because it's my weakness ! The ziploc bag method works great too !

Eggs and cream are naturally pretty low carb and I use artificial sweeteners. What did you have in mind ?

Whole Milk, Heavy Cream, Pure Vanilla Extract, and Stevia works well. You can also add eggs if you want. You can substitute Unsweetened Soy Milk or Soy Slender for Whole Milk [to further lower the carbs,] but it will not have the same texture as the real stuff...and must be eaten immediately. If you freeze IC made with Soy Milk, it will freeze so hard, you need a hammer and chisel to get it out of the cup. These work for me:

1/2 cup Whole Milk: 6g*
2 1/2 cups Heavy Cream: 17.5g
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract: 1g
1/2 tsp Stevia Extract Powder: 0g

...or...

1 cup Whole Milk: 12g
1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream: 10.5g
1 Jumbo Egg: 1g
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract: 1g
1/2 tsp Stevia Extract Powder: 0g

...or...

1 cup Unsweetened Soy Milk: 1g
2 cups Heavy Cream: 14g
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract: 1g
1/2 tsp Stevia Extract Powder: 0g

...or...

1 1/2 cups Unsweetened Soy Milk: 1.5g
1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream: 10.5g
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract: 1g
1/2 tsp Stevia Extract Powder: 0g

...or...

1/2 cup Cultured Whole Buttermilk: 2g
2 cups Heavy Cream: 14g
1 Jumbo Egg: 1g
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract: 1g
1/2 tsp Stevia Extract Powder: 0g

*Numbers are approximate effective carb count of ingredients. Each recipe should make 8 - 1/2 cup servings. Soy Recipes will make slightly less servings because they don't puff up as well as whole milk recipes. Replacing Milk [or Cream] with Eggs will usually give more volume with less carbs. Replacing Milk with cream will reduce carbs and make for a richer Ice Cream.

DO NOT use Lowfat, Skim, 1%, or Nonfat milk/buttermilk or the ice cream will taste like sweetened water and won't be worth eating. Buttermilk has a unique taste. I can't stand it. But, since it should be similar to Yogurt (both are cultured which reduces the carb count by 8g and gives them that unique taste)...I figured yogurt fans would like it. So, I included it.
