Crave ice cream?

[SkippysMum]

I dicovered that if you freeze low fat sugar free yoghurt it tastes just like ice cream without the calories, fat or sugar :gimi:
I was so pleased with myself for discovering this.

But it usually is hard like an icecube.
Anyone know how to do something like a real ice cream? more... creamy?

I tried freezing a mullerlight one on recommendation...god almighty it was like a big bullet!!! Wonder if low fat creme fraiche would work better?

 

[honeykiss]

Sounds nice might have to try that x

I do that with muller light chocolate sprinkled range, the orange flavour is especially yummy when frozen!

 

[shinnyr]

Emm, good ideas!

I always have bananas in the freezer. Whizz them up in the blender with a touch of vanilla extract and a tbl sp milk and et viola, ice cream

I've been doing this for years, there's a bit of a trick to it!

If you don't like the big ice crystals that form in the yogurt, give the pot a good shake before it goes in and shake it every couple of hours afterwards (if possible!) it's like making ice-cream, which also needs stirring

Depending on your freezer you might not want to leave them in all that long, I find about 4 to 6 hours is a good time, but YMMV. If they've been in there ages, I take them out a couple of hours before I want to eat 'em so they are not rock-solid.

I love my improvised 'ice cream' !

 

[Bizzylizzy]

Love ice cream, the real stuff, preferably witha flake crushed on top! naughty, naughty!

 

[SW_Char]

Wow, that's different. Will have to give it a try!

 

[zeldas]

Good tip

 

[Smammi]

Natural yoghurt and whizzed up berries, yum yum!

I had this tonight - Breyers Mint Chip Ice Cream - it's currently on offer in Tesco for £2.50 a 500ml tub rather than a fiver.

Genuinley didn't tell the difference from it to normal mint choc chip - it was LOVELY! it's 340 cals a tub or 170 for half a tub - worth every calorie! Going to stock up for Christmas!


Failing that when I was doing SW we used to freeze the areo/rolo/milkybar etc little tubs of mousse and eat them as ice cream.

I'm not into the Breyers, I find it too watery/icy. I do love Halo Top and Oppo though. They are our weekend treat
