noramaria - I am sending you a link, hope its permitted, this vanilla ice cream is my very favourite, you can vary the flavour, leave out the vanilla, add cocoapowder or chopped/pureed berries, anything you like, it always turns out right.

I make mine with Zsweet usually, it works with Splenda too, just replace the sugar with your preferred choice of sweetener.

Hope this helps, this recipe doesnt need to be stirred every half hour, you dont get those annoying ice crystal bits that you normally get when making ice cream without a machine.

MOCCA CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

6 cups cream
3 egg yolks
sweetener
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
20-30 g of chopped chocolate (high cocoa content)

Beat the yolks with sweetener, whisk on the instant coffee powder, whisk for a moment so that it dissolves a little. Dont worry if the granules are not all dissolving they add a little bit of 'crispy punch' to the ice cream. Add the finely chopped cocolate, it doesnt matter if some chocolate bits are a bit bigger than the others.
Ice Cream Maker
Pour mix into the prepared ice cream maker and stir slowly for about 15 minutes. Pour into bowl or ice cream container and store in the freezer or serve immediately. Set in the freezer or eat immediately. t

Without ice cream maker
Pour the mixture into a bowl and freeze for 4 hours, stirring it every half hour.

Serve ice cream decorated with a little finely chopped chocolate and if you are really want to spoil yourself a big dollop of whipped cream.

YOGHURT ICE CREAM

ingredients:
250 gr mascarpone cheese
2 cups whipping cream (UNBEATEN)
1 teaspoon organic vanilla powder (NOT sugar!), or essence/extract or pod
about 200 gr optional berries (I took raspberry and blueberry)
optional sweetener, if you have a very sweet tooth

Whisk mascarpone, cream and vanilla to a smooth paste.
Add any berries you want, frozen or fresh, does not matter, except that you may have to whip a little more if the berries are frozen.
Whisk together so that the mixture is as desired. Some want the berries mashed, some doint, its really up to you.

If you have ice cream machine, then used it as per instructions that come with the machine.
I spooned the mixture into colourful plastic cups, wrapped a small freezer bag around each and put in the freezer.
The ice cream is a bit hard and icy and you need to thaw it a bit longer before serving than regular ice cream, but tastes just as good.
If you want to, you can add different flavours, coffee or chocolate or whatever.

This mixture is also excellent to use as filling for cakes, or just to eat as a snack or breakfast (unfrozen of course).

This is one I make using Crusha no-added-sugar Strawberry syrup (from sainsburys) Works really well.
Don't have to have an ice cream maker.
mix two egg YOLKS with 10 teaspoons canderel (or similar) POWDER until you get a yellow gooey mix. To separate the yolks from the whites, just crack the eggs into your hands and let the white run out between your fingers. (Doesn't work if you break the egg yolk when you crack the egg!)

Add 250 mlls milk (full cream, low fat, doesn't matter) and 60mls of the strawberry crusha to the yellow goo and mix up to get a pink mixture.

In a separate bowl, beat (whisk) 150mls of double cream until it starts to go stiff - not solid, just so you get little peaks when you lift the cream a bit.

Add the pink stuff to the cream, and mix it all up. If you have an ice cream maker, put it in. If not, put the bowl in the freezer and take it out to stir REGULARLY (every 15 mins?) until it sets to the right consistency. (NOT totally frozen)

At this stage, I take it out and put it into about 6 little separate bowls (ramekins), cover them in clingfilm and then foil, and put in freezer to keep.

When you want one, take it out and stand it in the fridge for about 30 mins before eating to let it soften a little.

Sounds complicated, but the whole process with the mixtures only takes about ten mins when you're used to it.

Each ice cream is about 1.7 grams carbs
