HI, does anyone know where you can buy Peters low carb ice cream in Sydney? Am desperate for a fix!!
ta

I have seen the Peter Low Carb Ice Cream in Coles in Manly. Coles have two stores in Manly (monopoly!), and I have only seen it in the new one. I haven't bought or tried the ice cream myself.
Hope that helps.

thanks for the reply....anyone seen it anywhere closer to western sydney?? ta muchly

Hi,
Can't help the Sydneysiders with ice cream but for the Low Carbers in Adelaide I saw the Peters Carbohydrate Modified Icecream at Coles at Hollywood Plaza just yesterday. So it may be worth checking your local Coles store if you are hanging out for icecream, Cheers Lyn

If I find out where it is in Western Sydney Mjay, you'll find me right there with you!!!

I am in Quakers Hill, whereabouts are you?

I am in the Pentrith area - if I find any I will let you know. The staff at GNC in Penrith Plaza are very helpful and stock some Atkins products.

I grew up in Penrith, what a small world.

There is no GNC terribly close to Quakers, closest are Winston Hills & Parramatta & Penrith, but I work in the city where there are 2 which is good.

Maybe we should ask at our local Coles whether they can start stocking Peters Low Carb Icecream - but I don't have a Coles for miles, it's all Woolies near me.

Found in western sydney!!! I found the Peters carb modified ice cream in Coles in Nepean Plaza at Penrith. It is in a white 2L container with a white lid and a pale lime green label. Tastes v. yummy with a few berries as a weekend treat. Also tried the Darrel Lea carb free choc - not bad - one piece per week as a treat. Dont know if the DL shops stock it, but I ordered some thru POH website.

ohhhhh..... you have made my day!!! Am away in Melbourne for work this week, but will take a trip to Coles ~ Penrith on Friday!!! I grew up in Penrith so I know that store well!

Goody goody goody!!!!! I think my life is now complete!

BTW the Darrell Lea stores do sell their low-carb chocolate, it's $2.20 a bar. They also sell splenda-sweetened lollies (that are a bit like Starbursts), boiled lollies and choc-covered almonds. HOWEVER if you have a sweet tooth like me you have to remember that EXCESS CONSUMPTION MAY HAVE A LAXATIVE EFFECT.....

Woo hoo, found Peter's carb-modified ice-cream in Coles at Norwest in Baulkham Hills!!! It is still 3.5g carbs per 100ml or so, but better than full-sugar ice-cream for sure!!!

Had some on Saturday with LC choc syrup and crushed nuts, my goodness it tasted decadent!!!

I made some lc icecream from the Atkins book and it was UNBELIEVABLY good! It was sweetened with Splenda, (I'm not sure what the Peters version is sweetened with but I'm sure it's nasty). I borrowed an icecream maker to test it out and went and bought one the next day at Harvey Norman for $69 (they used to be over $100). I made chocolate icecream by adding some cocoa and it was as good as any icecream I've ever tried - lc or not! It only took 10 mins or so to prepare the "custard" to make the icecream and then you pour into the icecream maker and it churns it for you and 45 mins later you have yum-o icecream. The only downer is that it didn't keep very well and was quite hard and icy the next night but I don't think I cooked the custard long enough and that may have affected the consistency. If anyone else has managed to keep icecream for a couple of days please send me some tips.

I was wondering about that. Have been looking at icecream makers in the last week or so but I really don't want to buy one if the icecream doesn't keep. What brand of icecream maker did you buy?

I borrowed a Phillips icecream maker but I bought a 1.5 litre Kenwood. There was a Breville one too, but it only made 1 litre. I haven't tried the Kenwood yet, but will probably test it out tonight. I'll post the results of my testing.

I will be interested in your results. I need to do some searches on icecream making to find out if you can make icecream that doesn't freeze rock hard. I think I read somewhere on this site that glycerine and alcohol can help stop this from happening.

Hi all....I had an ice cream making attempt a few months ago....didnt work out too well!! Used an adapted 'normal' ice cream recipe - ie. eggs, cream, spenda etc cooked into a custard and then a friend lent me her ice cream maker. Well, for the first 5 mins all was fine and then the custard mixture froze solid on the outside and the paddle would not turn!!! Had to eat the soft stuff from the middle straight out of the bowl!!! I think it must be because cream freezes at a lower temp than millk??? Anyone got any ideas? I eat the Peters stuff sometimes, but would rather make my own.
