Comments:
I use this recipe if I'm craving Ice cream because it has less than 95 Calories and is quick and easy to make from ingredients that are always in my house. I've also used this Recipe as a fun cooking session with pre-schoolers they love the process and get to eat ice cream in the end. If you are craving say strawberry ice cream they so make strawberry extract and you can just substitute that for the vanilla extract.

    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
