Healthy Homemade Ice Cream

The heat of summer always inspires me to get out the ice cream maker. (I use an affordable Cuisinart model that’s great.) Even though I love ice cream, I still want to keep it reasonable and healthy, so at EatingWell we created lower-fat (but still rich-tasting) Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream and Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream recipes this year.

I think you are extremely mistaken to believe that adding a high sugar, processed product like condensed milk is healthier than natural whole milk. It is well known now that sugar is far more detrimental to our health than fats (with the exception of trans fats found in margarine and other processed goods). Fats from natural whole food sources such as whole milk are now proven to aid weight loss by providing a great source of energy and supporting the natural insulin response in the body. Please update your nutritional knowledge before spruiking 'healthy' recipes that will actually contribute to insulin resistance and diabetes. — Anonymous	10/12/2012 - 6:45pm
Replacing milk and cream with sugar laden condense milk isn't healthy you ninny. — Anonymous	10/08/2012 - 2:56pm

i think you are very foolish,fresh whole milk is far superior to sweetened condensed milk & egg yolks are full of vitamins i think mine is the healthier option of the two,,, John — Anonymous	09/08/2012 - 1:32am

I'm curious to know, please... how much and what type of gelatin did you use?... Would jelly-crystals work, or would sheets of gelatin be better? I've only just bought a 1.5 litre Cuisenart myself, and am looking forward to more experimentation :) — Anonymous	11/03/2011 - 4:50am
I make my own home made ice cream using coconut milk. But I mix it half light coconut milk and half regular coconut milk and use stevia for the sweetner then I add in whatever healthy stir in that I want to add.And it tastes yummy, but alot healthier version. theresa, Midland, tx — Anonymous	09/02/2009 - 9:45am

What about "ice cream" made w/soy,hemp,almond, or rice milk. Sweetened w/ xylitol, or Stevia, and maybe coco powder,organic cherries,nuts, etc. Something for people who want low to moderate glycemic index desserts etc. lin, Haiku, HI — Anonymous	09/02/2009 - 9:45am
