Reposting this from above thread -
What I have done is literally take the exact ricotta creme recipes or the exact ideas form the "flavoring yogurt list" and just popped them in the ice cream maker! I just experiment (I ALWAYS cook like this, I never really use recipes) The outcome is not EXACTLY like store bought ice cream of course - but its yummy, creamy, cold!
Here is what I have done:
The SBD Peanut Butter Cup (the one with 1 T peanut butter, 1 T ff whipped topping, 1 slightly melted fudgescicle per serving) I make enough for 4-6 so it feeds the kids too. Mix it up in a bowl, then put it in the ice cream maker, gets very smooth and creamy and has the texture of ice cream (I felt like the original was the consistency of melted ice cream - too soupy for me - and wasn't too fond of the texture, but this really firms it up and it even "scoops" like ice cream!)
Frozen Yogurt - I start with 2 cups yogurt (to make 2 servings) I add about 1 cup milk, then add any of the flavorings, syrups or extracts just like when you flavor your yogurt. Some of my favorites:
vanilla sf syrup (1 T per serving) and cinnamon (I just sprinkle in to taste)
mango syrup (1 T per serving)
Splenda (to taste), lemon juice (about 1 T per serving), raspberry syrup (about 1 T per serving)
peanut butter and Splenda
any flavor of sugar-free jello powder just like you flavor a yogurt
any flavored syrups (cookie dough sounds like it would be really good!)
Use your favorite homemade lemonade recipe and put it in the ice cream maker for lemon sorbet
Now that I am starting Phase 2 I plan to eventually add mashed berries with Splenda sometime for a berry frozen yogurt. Or you just make plain vanilla with the yogurt, milk, and either vanilla syrup or vanilla extract and splenda - then top it with fresh berrie sauce - like a sundae!
Also I've frozen the ricotta cremes, I add a little milk to make it just a tad thinner. Any of those recipes would work.
Oh and fat-free sugar free pudding - I mix it up like the package but add a tad more milk then put that in the ice cream maker. Today my 4 yr old and I made ff sf banana pudding and put it in popscicle molds and made banana pudding pops! SOOOOOO goood!
I don't think any of these will re-freeze well, I haven't tried it, but usually when you make homemade ice cream you kind of have to eat it right away or it looses that nice cream texture and gets hard. So I only make enough servings for however many people I am serving that night.
Hope that helps! None of these are my original ideas of course, I got them all from the ricotta creme recipes and the flavoring yogurt thread - just played with them to make them work in the ice cream maker! So you all probably already have tons of recipes - just have to use them in a different way!
