I made myself some mini healthy ingredient, (no sugar or artificial sweetener gunk) ice cream treats this morning and have them in the freezer for when an ice cream craving hits again. I got over my ice cream craving last night by eating some roasted almonds. I just don't like eating processed junk food though I do love ice cream. With a little prior preparation and portion control I can have my ice cream and eat it too. My mum always made a low fat low sugar version with skim milk fruit and gelatin. I make a high fat, pure cream and nut version (add nuts afterwards) as it is more satisfying and I just eat less. The main thing I don't want is the sugar, cornstarch or artificial sweeteners or chemicals in the bought stuff. I once owned an ice cream maker. I would not bother again. Just an ice cream tray and a hand beater and beat the mixture twice when it is semi frozen to get a lovely ice cream consistency and frankly - just make it as you like it. A skim milk iced coffee with gelatin added as a thickener would make a low fat and carb slimmers version or sweeten with a little honey, it is twice as sweet as sugar so you use less. Or a little natural vanilla and some fruit. So many versions you can try. Break yourself free of recipes, life in the kitchen becomes more fun :-) and frankly eating is too.
