RLP1 Ziploc Vanilla Ice Cream Reviews Date of last review 13 Sun January 25, 2009 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers None indicated 9.8 Description: Ingredients: 1 tablespoon artificial sweetener 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 1/2 cup Heavy Cream 6 tablespoons Table Salt 3 cups Ice 1 Sandwich Sized Ziploc Bag 1 Gallon Sized Ziploc Bag How To Prepare: (No Ice Cream Maker Needed. It really works, trust me!!) In the sandwich sized ziploc, combine the sugar substitute, vanilla extract and heavy cream. Seal the bag and shake lightly to mix ingredients. In the gallon sized ziploc bag, add 3 cups of ice (or fill half the bag with ice)and add 6 tablespoons of table salt. Place the seal sandwich sized bag into the gallon bag and seal the gallon bag. Shake the entire contents for at least 4 minutes (shake longer for harder ice cream). Once desired hardness has been achieved, remove smaller baggies and rinse throughly with cold water (if you miss this step, you may wind up with salty ice cream!) Recipe makes about a 1/2 cup of ice cream. I have doubled the recipe and it still works well. I am also sure that you can add additional ingredients (cocoa powder, etc) to create different flavors of ice cream. Lastly for our friends and relatives who aren't on low carb diets, they can use milk and regular sugar rather than the cream and sugar substitute.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): much cheaper than the store bought and tastes better Cons: my hands got cold This is awsome. I can have home made ice cream and I don't even own a ice cream maker. It tasts just like the Atkins Vanilla Ice cream and is much less expensive. Thank you very much for this recipe. A little addition to the recipe instructions: I noticed when I removed the sandwich baggie from the ice the ice cream was lumpy. After washing the bag off I cut the corner of the bag instead of opening like usual. Then I squeezed the contents out and it worked out all the lumps.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Yummy! Cons: Satisfies ice-cream craving. I probably should have shaken it for more than 4 minutes, though. It was more like the consistency of a fast-food vanilla shake, and tasted like one too! (this is a good thing). I am going to save my bag of ice-salt to try this recipe again in the near future. By the way, cutting the tip off of the zip-loc bag to squeeze out the ice cream is helpful.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Delicious Cons: I love this! So quick and easy! My hubby was quite impressed. Next time I'll add some unsweetened cocoa and make some chocolate ice cream. YUM! The possibilities are endless, flavorwise. You could make the vanilla base and add a bit of DaVinci syrup to it. make it whatever flavor you want! This recipe is great for those who don't own ice cream machines, or for those like me that hate dragging out the machine and spending the time to use it.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Very yummy! Cons: hands get cold while shaking, wear gloves I tried this last night, and I'm glad I did. Very good. My husband and daughter loved it too. I would never have thought it would work. Good idea for those without a ice cream machine. Next time I will try to flavor it different. Worth a try!!

Good thing it only makes one serving, otherwise I would have difficulty controling myself!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Very Very Good Cons: None This was sooo good! My grandfather used to make homemade ice cream in an old fashioned machine on his farm when I was a kid....this tasted exactly like that!!! I just added a couple tsp. of coca powder and it was so great.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Easy, Fast and Good Cons: None..unless you get salt in your bag I used Sugar Free Davinci Strawberry Syrup instead of Vanilla. I also used fiberfit instead of splenda. Really, really good. I made a double batch and only ate less than half. I still want to know how this works?!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Tastes Awesome Cons: Not enough! Great ice cream...the only problem is you need to double or triple the recipe if you want more than a couple of scoops but the ice cream is awesome. I used Stevia as the sweetner and it was perfect.
