Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt/Gelato/Sorbet Recipe Collection

Oooooh this one is awesome! Result of a fridge cleaning before a trip.

2 c low fat cultured buttermilk
2 servings powdered sugar free vanilla pudding mix
Vanilla bean scrapings

This one was a lovely surprise. Buttery and particularly creamy, at about 150 calories for 1/2 pint.

Next time, I’m going to mix it with either diet Barq’s, or *kitten* and Bull zero cal spicy (!!!!) ginger beer.

I used full sugar Trader Joe’s ginger beer with some homemade vanilla a couple weeks ago to use it up and discovered a ginger beer float is a thing of beauty.

I’ve tried to come up with good ice cream recipes that don’t use sugar free pudding. This one was a real winner. A little “tarter” than regular ice cream, since it’s primarily Greek yogurt.

First spin is dry and crumbly. Add a little milk and respin and it will be like a wonderful soft serve ice cream. 70 calories per half pint serving if you use all the water and eke out eight servings, well under 100 if you limit the water to enough to mix the Guar gum. 😱

It “creamified” so well, it made heaping bowls, but they did melt quickly This is a recipe that needs to be eaten immediately

It actually made eight servings because I’d added about half a cup of water the first time. it frothed so much in my blender that I had to put the extra mix in the empty yogurt container and decant it into an empty Creami tub the following evening.

I was worried it would spoil or separate but it didn’t. On a lark, I added a serving of Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Cocoa and some plain powdered baking cocoa to this jar (the jar being two servings, so we each got half of the Ghirardelli). The cocoa didn’t emulsify into the mix, but did blend in, and I am delighted to say, I accidentally stumbled onto the best chocolate ice cream I’ve made so far.

Am remaking a new batch tonight, specifically as chocolate, and will add a pinch of salt, and maybe slip in a small pinch of cayenne.
