George Stella's Chocolate Macadamia Nut Ice Cream 4 servings
1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup sugar substitute 1 tsp sugar-free vanilla extract 1/8 tsp sugar-free almond extract 1 Tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa powder 2 Tbsp ricotta cheese 1/4 cup coarsely-chopped macadamia nuts
1. With an electric mixer on high, whip the cream in a bowl until frothy. Add sugar substitute, extracts, cocoa powder and ricotta; beat on high until soft peaks form. *Be careful not to over-whip or the cream will break down.
2. Use a spoon or spatula to fold in most of the macadamia nuts. Save a few for garnish.
3. Divide into four servings and place in dishes and freeze for 1 hour to make mock ice cream (or refrigerate for 30 minutes if serving as a parfait layered with strawberries or blueberries, etc.)
Sprinkle with reserved macadamia nuts and serve.
*If the frozen "ice cream" is too hard to eat, take it out of the freezer for a couple of minutes before serving.

From Linda's site: (suitable for Induction)
EASY COFFEE ICE CREAM 1/2 cup brewed coffee, brought to room temperature 1 cup heavy cream Liquid Splenda equal to 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all of the ingredients in a 2-cup glass measuring cup and freeze in an ice cube tray at least 4 hours. Once the cubes are frozen solid, take them out of the tray and store them in the freezer in an airtight container until 1 hour before serving time. Place the frozen ice cream cubes in a food processor, with chopping blade inserted, and let them stand at room temperature 1 hour or 30 minutes if it's a very warm day. Start checking the cubes after 30 minutes. You can tell if the cubes are ready if you can easily break them up with a fork but there is no liquid in the bottom of the processor. Process until the ice cream is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of processor as needed. If the processor is acting a bit sluggish, add a teaspoon or so of water to help it get moving. Serve at once and do not refreeze for more than a few minutes before serving.
Makes 2-3 servings
TIP: If the cubes don't easily pop out of the tray, fill the kitchen sink with about an inch or two of very hot water. Set the tray in the water for a few seconds or until the cubes can be popped out of the tray.

I bet any of those would be great in the vanilla ice cream, as a variation -- ooooo, like raspberry or caramel.... mmmmmmm :)

DA Vinci makes a lot of carb free syrups, Caramel, Raspberry and chocolate and those are the only ones I have tried besides the Vanilla, Walden Farms also makes a great bunch of Carb free syrups too, I like their chocolate one the best.

To bring the carbs down a little use the Da Vinci sugar, carb free vanilla syrup....do you think this would help?

Lisa, the maple-walnut only has 4.3 , which is even less than the plain vanilla... I'll keep looking for some new ones in the Stella cookbook too :)
In the meantime, that custard really IS yummy. We had some today, and it was very satisfying.

I'll have to keep looking for other recipes or just make a plain vanilla....the others have too many carbs for me while I'm losing. If I go over 30, I stall.

Because the cream has carbs in it, and so do all the ingredients, if only a little bit, it all adds up!

Basic Ice Cream Custard serves 6 (1/2 cup servings) 2 c heavy cream 4 egg yolks 1/2 vanilla bean, slit open and scraped (I use 1 t vanilla extract, and it's great) 8 packets sugar substitute (or 16 tsp. granular Splenda)
Heat cream in heavy sacepan over low heat. Whisk in one egg yolk at a time. Add vanilla and whisk until custard begins to thicken. Remove from heat and cool. Beat one packer (or 2tsp at a time) of sugar substitute at a time into cooled custard. At this point, the custard is ready to add recipe ingredients that make it ice cream.
Total grams carb: 20.8 Per serving: 3.5
"Do not overlook the value of refrigerating the custard as it is and using it as a delicious, rich dessert."
