I have begun making my own ice cream lately. It is a sugar free option for myself and I happen to be a fan. It is actually quite delicious. So this morning Jack says to me "Sorry dad, I took some of your pistachio ice cream". I laughed and asked him how he liked it. His face lit up - he loved it. I was not expecting that kind of a response from Jack on the matter. I thought it was great. He was so excited about it. I suppose I will need to make some more - special for Jack.
Here is how I make it with a Cuisinart Ice Cream machine.
Mix the following in a bowl -
- 2 cups Half and Half
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 to 1.5 cups Splenda.
- vanilla
- almond extract
- pinch of salt
Start machine and pour in mixture.
In seperate bowl combine the following -
- Ground up pistachios
- Sugar Free chocolate chips - chopped
Mix Pistachios/Chocolate Chips in with Ice Cream after 20 minutes. Takes approximately three to five minutes to mix in.
Serve or transfer to seperate bowl and freeze.
Okay that is it. Good stuff. I am completely spent however so I am calling it a night before I fall asleep here at the computer.
