Anyone have a good "mock ice cream" recipie??

i just freeze ripe bananas (chopped in pieces) then blend in food processor until creamy

I just did this recipe last week. It's a bit labor intensive (at least half hour +) to make Neopolitan 'mock' ice cream, but very yummy. Here's the link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/neapolitan-banana-ice-cream.print.html?oc=linkback

As for calories, I just use bananas (raw or frozen) as the basis, even though it's a bit less with the strawberries (1 cup strawberries to 2 cups bananas), so if you're calculating basing on a half cup of bananas, it might be slightly higher in that recipe. You might want to add a bit more to the chocolate one that uses a tablespoon of coconut oil and cocoa powder (though there's not much in the cocoa). Like I said, if you're having some of each, just using the banana will be fairly correct, as the chocolate is a bit more, the strawberry a bit less. Oh, and the vanilla is just vanilla extract and bananas.

I'm going to try some papaya and pineapple, too. Papaya is very creamy when we use it in our Yonana maker (also a very easy way to make frozen desert). Just add frozen fat/sugar free pudding (freeze in ice cube trays) or yogurt (free, or othewise) for creaminess, with or without bananas.

I just eat real ice cream. If you get plain chocolate or vanilla there is plenty to be had dailly.

See my chocolate smoothie recipe post, it's fantastic!

Homemade ice cream isn't too bad. You can control the amount of sugar in it. Also, I have seen some great recipes for banana based fake ice cream. The Domestic Geek on Youtube has at least 8 different "guilt" free ice cream recipes. They look delicious!

very very easy, all you need is frozen fruit, any kind. Blend it up till thick and creamy, I also add a little nut milk and vanilla sometimes even some cinnamon

Agree. Takes some scrapping, but good substitute.

Just ate 163 gram of frozen peaches mixed with 200 gram homemade yogurt, some ice cups and walden syrup
About 200 calories

I only topped it off with a Dutch homemade cookie bakery ( crumbs) good for 200 calories lol

but so yummie

I use one frozen banana (sliced before freezing for easy processing later), plus either 3 T of unsweetened cocoa powder or a cup of frozen blueberries, cherries, mangoes, or whatever. As it is processing, I pour in maybe 1/2-1 c. of plant milk, usually Silk unsweetened cashew milk, or, for more protein, soy milk. Sometimes I add in almond butter or chia seeds, cinnamon, or even flavor extracts. It's super easy, super healthy, contains no added sugars, and is really delicious.

I already posted this recipe in the recipe forum but thought I'd post it here too. It's not smooth like ice cream but got me through my craving that I didn't have calories for!
1 cup (140g) frozen blueberries
6g demurara cane sugar or other
3 Tbsp. half and half
Put blueberries in a bowl and sprinkle on sugar. Stir in half and half. The half and half (or milk if you want) coats the blueberries in an ice cream like layer and it is fantastic! Only 163 cal. with the ingredients I used!
