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 | Rating: 10    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 | Rating: 10    Pros: yummy yummy yummy Cons: Very addicting!! WARNING: VERY ADDICTIVE!!! REALLY HARD TO STOP AT JUST ONE SERVING!!! I am soo confused!!! Why does this work so well??? I can't believe it!! This is the most amazing ice cream I have ever tasted!! I am soo not kidding!!! I made 3 servings.. eeegads!!! All to myself!!

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 | Rating: 10    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. LisaM30 Junior LCF Member Registered: September 2004 Location: Tampa, Florida Posts: 3 Review Date: Mon October 18, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 9    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!! carissa_konrad Senior LCF Member Registered: March 2005 Location: Nebraska Posts: 413 Review Date: Mon May 16, 2005 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: amazing taste Cons: nothing This stuff ROCKS!!! I think I'd rather have this than the regular ice cream. Good thing it only makes one serving, otherwise I would have difficulty controling myself! mom2ovd Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2005 Location: ohio Posts: 158 Review Date: Thu June 2, 2005 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Sooo Good Cons: None This tastes awesome. My daughter wanted to taste it and loved it. I had to make a serving for her. It was so much better than I thought it would be. eiugirlie Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: Bentonville, AR Posts: 1 Review Date: Sun February 19, 2006 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    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. sumi Senior LCF Member Registered: September 2006 Location: THE BOONIES!!! Posts: 167 Review Date: Sun September 17, 2006 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 0    Pros: Cons: note: it says 10 servings is it 5 carbs a serving? and that means the servings are 1/4 cup? NoAngel Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Location: New Yawk Posts: 88 Review Date: Sat November 18, 2006 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 9    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 | Rating: 10    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.
