  I made mine with 2/3 cup skim milk, splenda, and 1 teaspoon natural raspberry jam. It tasted good and was fun to make. Next time I will place bags in a plastic container to make shaking easier. - 4/6/10

  We made this as a spur-of-the-moment-let's-see-if-this-works dessert and it was amazing!! Plus, this allowed us to make different flavor ice cream for each person (added 1/4 tsp instant coffee- mixed well- to make coffee ice cream; added 1/4 tsp chocolate syrup for chocolate ice cream). Thank you!!! - 8/24/10

  This is awesome! I just made it with me 5 year old daughter and her friend. We all loved it. It tasted just like the high fat version we used to make in the ice cream maker when I was little. I will definitely be making this often! - 6/25/10

  Mmmm! This just brought back memories of camp in 5th grade! I made this using only reduced fat chocolate milk and it tasted just like a fudge sickle (I wouldn't call it ice cream, though) - no need to add the sugar or vanilla as the favor is all there. Great idea, thanks for the reminder! - 3/16/10

  I used this recipe in Girl Scouts as a treasure hunt activity. The kids had clues leading them to each ingredient, cumulating in the kitchen to get the ice cubes. They had a blast figuring out why they were getting each item, and figuring out what to do with it all. They loved it! - 6/12/12

  Made mine with one cup of almond milk, splenda, almond extract, and instant coffee powder. 40 calories for a whole cup of "ice cream" = heaven!!!! :) I've also (when i think ahead) frozen ice cubes of the milk mixture and then blended them...it gives the same affect - 4/17/12

  I must be doing something wrong. I have shaken for 7 minutes and the pint sized bag was pierced from one of the ice cubes and it leaked into the gallon bag so now I have watered down and salted, flavored milk. What did I do wrong? - 7/12/11

  I was AMAZED at how well this work! I used lemon extract instead and splenda instead of sugar. It turned out like a sorbet for me which is greast as I prefer sorbets. It did taste salty though in some bits but that must gave been me somewhere transferring it into the bowl. - 6/4/11

  Just made this! We were a bit low on ice, but I managed to get the mixture to freeze. It was actually pretty good. A bit salty, though--which I found odd because the salt was OUTSIDE the mixture bag. But still, I'd use this recipe again! - 5/30/11

  I made this two times. Fun to make. Almost did not believe it could work so fast. Hard in 3 minutes. My only question is why the ice cream was too salty in spots, even though no salt in the recipe. I can only think it absorbed the salt through the plastic bag? Can anyone help me with this? - 11/13/10
