Craving ice cream

It's the middle of winter and I workout 5 days a week (bootcamp burning roughly 500-800 calories per session) and lately all I'm wanting after I'm done workout is ice cream or sorbet or those frozen lemon ice cups. The workouts are something I've been doing regularily for the last 4 months but within the last week the cravings are coming on. I don't get the ice cream/sorbet cravings in summer.. only in the winter. I eat clean the majority of the day and don't drink soda or juices.
How are you guys overcoming the cravings?

By buying single pints of the good stuff and living with someone who will finish it off by the time I go back for seconds.0

Or, if you can't ration yourself and just have a portion when it works with your calorie/nutrient targets, go buy yourself a single scoop in an ice cream parlor. That way you don't even have it in the house.0

I work it into my day and log it. I had homemade coffee ice cream yesterday. Sooo good.0

I just eat the ice cream. I haven't bought ice cream lately, but I used to regularly have ice cream every night after working out...and I still lost weight. I'd buy individual serving cups, and I'd work them into my day, calorie wise.0

I'm getting really bad ice cream cravings in the winter too. So I've been eating some every Sunday, and I don't feel so deprived during the week. I've been doing insanity, and the calories I burn from that is enough to burn up my ice cream calories.0

Agree- fit it in and have it. BUT blended frozen banana is delicious. I made some last night. (But I'm weird & searched the entire boardwalk for frozen chocolate covered bananas one summer while the rest of my family was eating Kohr Brothers.) It's got a very mild flavor so you could add a little vanilla to it, and the texture is so similar to 'real' ice cream. Peel the bananas before you freeze them though or they're a PITA.

I don't see anything wrong with just having some ice cream. I haven't been eating it lately--I've been trying to experiment with some other options--but I used some of my exercise calories for 150-250 calories of frozen dessert (gelato, ice cream, frozen yogurt) for months while losing much of the weight I've lost, and had no problem with it. I just logged the calories.
I am interested in eating a healthy diet, but I don't think that means you have to cut out all indulgences.
