Truly Fat Free Truly Delicious Ice Cream!
"This really is fat-free ice cream...in my opinion, better than frozen yogurt because there is no tart taste. This recipe was inspired by a lot of people here who gave me ideas for substitutions and also Heather Feather, whose cookie dough ice cream recipe led me to the ratios of ingredients! Thanks to all! Even my kids love this...they think it tastes like Breyer's vanilla bean ice cream! Note: Freezing time is listed in cook time."
- Ready In:

- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 2 cups fat-free half-and-half
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 cup egg substitute (Egg Beaters)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3⁄4 - 1 1⁄2 3/4-1 1/2 cup nuts (optional) or 3/4-1 1/2 cup fruit (etc. depending on what you add, your ice cream may not be fat-free anymore) (optional)
directions
- Beat together egg substitutes, sugar, and vanilla well (I do this by hand, but I guess you could use a hand-mixer).
- Add half and half and milk and beat well.
- Keep in refrigerator until ready to use or use immediately if still very cold.
- Pour into ice cream maker and let churn for 25-30 minutes (or follow the instructions that came with your machine for freezing).
- If adding anything, add 5 minutes before freezing process is done.
- You can play around with different extracts and add-ins to come up with various flavors (I think mint extract with chocolate chips would be good).

This was my very first recipe in my new electric ice cream maker, how exciting! I made this twice.. as i messed it up the first time, I put the spin-thingy in upside down! no wonder it didn't turn.. so i refroze the bowl, and did it again the right way, and it came out perfect. I subbed half the sugar with splenda, used the full 2 teaspoons vanilla, and added shaved chocolate and crushed cookies! -
PRAISE GOD!! This came out great! I live in a small town and it is nearly impossible to find fat free ice cream. My husband loves ice cream but has been put on a very low in saturated fat diet due to high cholesterol and heart problems. We substituted splenda and liquid stevia monk fruit for the sugar and added blueberries in the end. It was perfectly sweet and delicious. Fat free sugar free ice cream. Love it. THANKING GOD..Pray answered!! -
This recipe is wonderful! We have only had our ice cream maker for a couple of weeks, but we've already made this recipe 3 times! It is truly fat free and so delicious! I can't recommend it highly enough! -
My 7 year old is on a low fat diet due to a heart condition and this recipe made them feel like they were eating normal ice cream. We all loved it! Made it in the Cuisinart ice cream maker. -
Due to I am on chemo medication I could not use raw egg. Plus I did not want a gritty sugar... So I will put down below what I done after my sujustions..<br/> People getting icey mouth feel sujustions... Canned fat free milk is used for whipping cream so would taste better... Or put can of fat free coconut milk in fridge for couple hours or hour in frezzer... Then drain on the water use the cream... Its used a lot to for whipping cream.. Plus don't have cocnut taste in ice cream you would need whip it with milk to get it smooth ... Or all half half<br/> So I took 1 cup fat free half half.. warmed it up on 6 power on my microwave for 1 min then 1 more min WATCH as will buble over if don't use large enough glass.... Poured that over my sugar. Mixsed intill omost disolved.. Then heated 1 more min 30 seconds Watched.. Then had my egg in another bowl slowy poured the hot mixture over my egg with nonstop stiring inless you only add 1/8 of cup of milk at time can stop stiring can take breaks in between stiring ... Then I microwaved on power 6 on my microwave ..7 for most others as mine is 1200 wats... microwaved 30 seconds at time.. Intill it thickend... took me about 2 1/2 mins. If don't stir you will get cooked egg or if you have it on higher power... Happened my first round...<br/>I actual sujust doing it on stove I should of ... Plus then take hot milk and the left over milk and slowy mixs the hot into the cold. Then you still have pretty chilled mixture so maxs 20 mins in fridge or frezzer for faster time in machien ... I put mine straight in but mine is just add ice as you go ice cream maker. Not sujusted for frozen bowl. Taking me about 45 mins to hour verse 20 30 mins if I would put it in freezer or fridge 10-20 mins so I did not make up time their... but compared to chilling 2-4 hours you make up time their though<br/><br/>Hope this is helpful to some. Yum

<p>I live in Pa (outside of Philadelphia) and cooking, baking, cross-stitching and reading are my hobbies. <br /> <br />I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania. <br /> <br />I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ;) <br /> <br />We bought an ice cream parlor in March 04 and it's been quite an experience! <br /> <br />Note: I love getting feedback on my recipes; all I ask is that you actually *make* them before reviewing them. <br /> <br />Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. Too many recipe reviews state margarine subbed for butter (if I list butter, it's REAL butter), different spices, low-fat ingredients, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. The recipes will not work/taste as intended, so it's really not fair to rate them as such. <br /> <br />I'd also really appreciate it if you refrain from rating a recipe if you overcook or overbake it or it you don't refrigerate or store as listed. <br /> <br />I, of course, will adhere to the above when rating recipes, too! <br /> <br />Thanks and have a great day! <br /> <br />My Rating System: <br /> <br />***** A delicious recipe that was thoroughly enjoyed. It has excellent, detailed directions and is perfect as is. If a dish is especially easy, and I'm on the fence, I will give it 5* for ease even if it's very good instead of great. Something I will definitely make again. <br /> <br />**** Excellent recipe but confusing directions that I will make again in my own less confusing way OR Very good recipe that I'll probably make again if I find the time! <br /> <br />*** Good/OK recipe but probably not something I would make again OR Very Good recipe that doesn't have clear, detailed directions. <br /> <br />** Recipe was edible but not really enjoyed and will not be made again. Work involved not a good trade-off for the end result. <br /> <br />* Not edible and probably an error in the recipe. I feel that I pick recipes with ingredients our family likes, so in my opinion, there's an error somewhere. If there's a chance I made the error, I won't rate the recipe. ;) <br /> <br /><img src=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/swapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=cookieswapparticip.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/honey-pot-print-c10069558.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
