No carb ice cream?

Breyer's makes some incredibly delicious ice cream treats under the name CarbSmart. Ice cream, ice cream bars & fudge bars are the ones I've tried and honestly, the only reason I don't buy them anymore is not that they spike me, but that I'll eat the whole box at one sitting. I've found them at Walmart & Kroger . . . I'd be willing to bet other chain stores stock them too.
Amen, brother.WHY IN THE WORLD have ya'll not told us about this before now...
buggheaded to Walmart
Are there any other ready-made carb-free muffins, cupcakes, cakes, cookies, etc. at Walmart that you guys have been keeping secret from the rest of us? :noidea:
Baked items don't lend themselves quite so easily to low-carbing . . . they usually have that white flour thing going on.
But we have a carrot cake recipe over on the recipe board that is exceptionally good . . . give it a try!

I recently bought a Cuisinart ice cream maker so that I could make ice cream for my wife (type 1) and myself (not diabetic) with stevia. I made ice cream with it for the first time today---peppermint chocolate chip. Using dark chocolate chips, it was 11 g carbs per 1/2 a cup. If I hadn't added the chocolate chips, it would have been about half that. Going carb-free isn't really possible with dairy cream and/or milk, but without sugar, one can make ice cream that is quite low in carbs. The ice cream maker was only about $40 and has great reviews from others that have bought it, so I'd say it's a good investment for anyone wanting to make their own low-carb ice cream.
Peppermint chocolate is a great place to start!
Do you have a carb counter book, McGruff? Dairy cream definitely IS low-carb at only 3g of carb per 8oz cupful, but milk is not since it has lactose & an 8oz cupful of 1% cows milk goes for 13g of carb. You could also reduce carbs more by using sugar-free chocolate chips. Using pure cream & s/f chocolate chips, I bet it would be darn NEAR carb-free.
I don't use milk for anything anymore - I use heavy cream for everything. If I want the consistency of milk, I dilute the cream 1:1 with water.
If Shottlebop happens by here, I think he has a lot of ice cream recipes.

The original post asked about "no carb ice cream". Carb Smart products, made by Breyers, is low carb, but not zero carb. I love the Carb smart ice cream bars that are vanilla covered with chocolate, only 9 carbs. That is the lowest carb ice cream product sold, that I have seen. My store runs out of them very frequently. I have visions of someone filling their buggy and walking away with the whole supply. I wonder if anyone would do that???
Did you buy the one you just plug in or do you have to add ice and salt? Would like to know how well the no-ice ones work.
Walden Farms strawberry syrup over vanilla ice cream might be good.

I've used the Cuisinart no-ice/salt maker for years, and have not yet figured out how I'll adapt to low-carb. Traditionally I didn't like the very high fat ice cream and would use more milk than cream. But I think with erythnitol and going high-fat I'll be able to work it out.
When I get home in a couple of months I'll be pulling it out and experimenting. Would love to figure out how to adapt my favorites, and look forward to discovering new treats that never would've occurred to me.

The ice cream recipes I found online today call for eggs, sugar, salt, whipping cream, half-and-half and vanilla. I would just substitute whipping cream & water for the half-and-half and of course sweetener for the sugar, and I believe that would be carb-free.
Whoa baby . . . I think it would be heavenly!
He better hurry before we call out the militia! heheh! I went digging and found one of the ones he posted in the past on another forum . . . maybe he won't mind if I start the ball rolling . . .
