sounds yummy but we don't have graham crackers here in the UK i'm not sure what a similar item would be here.
Any kind of plain "biscuit" or sweet cracker will do. In the US, a the graham cracker was not originally sweet, but then they started adding honey to the recipe to imitate a British biscuit. It is basically wheat flour with wheat germ and bran that has been lightly sweetened, rolled out flat, then baked.0 -
oooops meant to quote Wendyterry, thankyou I think a digestive might be a good alternative, our crackers are more savoury for cheese etc0

I'll eat the real ice cream, thanks anyway.0

Wow. A lot of you are harsh! The poster obviously wanted to share something good she discovered to be nice. If you'd rather eat ice cream then fine. Why must you blast someone for liking an alternative? Unless you have something nice or helpful, why post a response? Just carry on and let her be. Sheesh! Go ahead, bash me if you must to make yourself feel better. By the way, I love using a frozen banana blended in my food processor with peanut butter. That is my ice cream alternative. :-)0

Why do we need an alternative for ice cream?
Cause if you eat it, youll get fat. I usually substitute ice cream with this:
PM me if you want the recipe.
How will eating some ice cream make you fat?0 -

Because the alternative is not really any better than the real thing. It's not healthier to eat whipped cream. *shrug*0 -
I would love to read your recipe for a ice cream sub thank you0

I LOVE ICE CREAM! I must shout it to everyone! Fortunately, ice cream isn't exactly "healthy". I did come up with a good alternative that is...you'll never believe it...UNDER 200 cals! Just take chocolate graham crackers (low fat or reduced cal if you can find them) break them in half and make a "sandwich" with Lite Cool Whip in the middle. Freeze for two hours. Tastes just like an ice cream sandwich with WAY less calories (about 130 for two sandwiches using full calorie graham crackers). YUM!0

Who's attacking? We're just asking questions and discussing. Since when is a disagreement an attack?0 -
is there any reason you have to post your disagreement online? if the OP likes what she made, she can. you don't have to waste time out of your own day by tossing negativity around. shockingly, you might feel better about yourself if you go about complimenting people instead of downing them.0

Right! I think this is the main point. People need to realize that food should be judged in *context* to the entire diet. Struggling to fit a food item into your diet is a creativity issue, and for some, it makes sense to eat something lower in calories that still provides satisfaction. It is not correct though, to just label any particular food as good or bad. Sometimes when people say that, it's related to their own poor relationship with food. Other times, it is simply a lack of knowledge. No one is trying to be harsh, from what I have seen, just pointing out the facts.0 -
that sounds amazing! thank you!!0

OP said ice cream is unhealthy and offered Cool Whip as an alternative. It's not throwing around negativity to state that ice cream is not unhealthy. I feel pretty darn good about myself, by the way.0 -

Well there you go. (I had to Google it) But yep, sounds perfect.
And FTR, I Cool Whip! It isn't as good as real cream, but it has its uses (and can be considered a "convenience" food), and to me is quite yummy!0 -
I'm pretty sure if I eat my kids, someone's gonna contact Child Protective Services on me.
but they're soooooo good when frozen. Crunchy!0 -
I am currently onto blood orange sorbet, half the calories all the flavor0

As someone who just kind of likes ice cream but loves whipped cream, thank you!0
