Frozen deliciousness?

I'm having a brain fart, so help me out. I'd love to find something I can throw in the freezer for a frosty treat in hot weather, like a fudge bar or even better, a fruit bar. However, carbs. Can't imagine those are low carb! Any ideas for something along those lines? Fruity and frosty but still low carb?

I saw an idea for doing 50% wine with 50% flavored water to make "popsicles." We were working on our fridge today, so I will be trying those out tomorrow. Pinot and Le Croix water seems like naturals for this.
Last year, we made smoothies and put the extra into popsicle molds, very refreshing. We grow raspberries so that was very fruity.2 -
I converted Jamie Oliver's custard base for ice cream into a keto version.... 1 litre HWC, 8 egg yolks, 3 tbsp Splenda/Erythritol mix, warm till thickened, cool, freeze, mixing/shaking every 20 mins or so.... amazing! Going to find some "flavours" for it... would be amazing in those tuppaware frozen treat style molds...?4

I make ice cream using mixed berries around 100 g 300g unsweetened almond milk 50g full fat double cream and 3 tbsp splenda i mix it it in a icecream maker for about 30 mins and then put it in the freezer in small contains. I also use this as a fruit smoothie but without the splenda. In tesco you can buy this icecream very nice. https://m.tesco.com/h5/groceries/r/www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/default.aspx?id=295694256 comes out at 8.5g carbs per pot3

If you are not opposed to the misc ingredients of jello:
http://mylifecookbook.com/2016/07/27/low-carb-jello-pops/
I'm back on my SF Jello kick. Rather than the above, I've been making it (in one pint containers). Refrigerate until it is half set then whip in 1 ounce of room temperature cream cheese to make this spongy, fruity, creamy dessert similar to what we always had back in the 60s-70s. I've not tried freezing it but it might freeze well.
Mom (and everyone else's Mom) would add a can of fruit cocktail, peaches, pears, whatever with finely chopped nuts/celery/carrots/whatever. It was a common "side" on holidays. That and "ambrosisa" which was the stuff with whipped cream (usually Dream Whip in that era), marshmallows, pineapple, mandarin oranges, shredded coconut, maraschino cherries, etc.
Flashback! The ever popular "Jello Salads" for the holidays.5 -
I've been blending whey protein, frozen berries and double cream. I want to try freezing it but haven't yet, and due to the frozen fruit it feels cold enough for me. Soft ice cream texture3

I'm loving the Jello idea! That sounds PERFECT! Thank you all!!!0

I love mint chocolate halo top. It looks like it's a lot of carbs buy most of its sugar alcohols or fiber, so I don't worry about having a few bites.1

I love Jello salads. I just throw shredded coleslaw mix in mine for a quick and different salad. The mom of a friend used to make a dill pickle Jello salad using pickle juice instead of part of the water. I'll see if I can find her recipe. Nice way to get your sodium for a change.6

Nope, I'm not certain where you live, but in North America there is a brand called Jell-o that makes flavoured gelatine. Basically you boil water, mix in the Jell-o packet, and stick it in the fridge. It's kindof like saying "Kleenex" for tissue; it's a brand name, not a food name.0 -
For frozen treats I like to mix coconut cream, cacao, vanilla and stevia and stick it in the freezer for a coconut-chocolate ice-cream treat

That sounds interesting - our jello salads were with grated carrot, chopped celery and Miracle Whip. The coleslaw mix sounds great!0 -

Going to try this with Costco's Super Salad mixture (without the dressing and goodies that come in the package.) I seem to have a lemon SF jello package in the cupboard, thanks for this great idea.1 -
Dill Pickle Jello (or molded jelly - AlexandraCarlyle
) Salad:
SF Lemon Jello
Dill Pickle brine (could be watered down to taste - your option)
1/2 C (or more to taste) chopped pickles
More chopped fresh dill if you like.
Easy. You might want to add the chopped pickles in when the Jello is starting to firm up so they don't get concentrated in top or bottom layers. Add when thick enough to hold them in suspension but not so thick that it 'chops up' the jello.
Also this is an option but I wouldn't used sweet gherkins, just chopped sour pickles. http://www.midcenturymenu.com/2013/08/pickle-olive-jell-o-a-mid-century-gelatin-test/

I just tried the jello (orange) and heavy whipping cream. I bought some popsicle molds and had a little left over and put in a dish. I couldn't get them out of the molds! Dagnabit! I did eat the one in the dish and it was ok. I think I'll do a little tweaking with the recipes. I'll soak the molds in hot water but I was hoping to just get out one at a time. The way the mold is made, I have to get out all 4 at once. It's a work in progress
Also, I made flourless low carb chocolate biscuits and put cool whip between them and froze them like sandwiches. Pretty good for a chocolate frozen snack. Frozen cool whip is very similar to ice cream.
Here's the recipe for the chocolate biscuit. I used Swerve sweetener. IMO, it needed a little more sweetener.0 -
Halo Top ice cream!! So many great flavors too 1

Gotta try this, because pickle juice!!!!
I did try using the Super Salad in Lemon Jello, it turned out great. DH is not a huge fan of lemony stuff, but he even thought it was good and very refreshing. Nice change from standard salad.0 -
