1 1/4 cups heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup sweetener (I use Sukrin)
1/4 cup ice cold water
1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
1. Mix all the ingredients together in one tub of the ice cream maker. Turn the machine on and let it churn for about 25 minutes. Eat right away.
This is just a simple vanilla recipe, but it's easy to jazz things up:
For coffee ice cream, omit vanilla extract and add1 tablespoon of instant coffee.
For mint chocolate chip, omit vanilla extract and add 2 drops mint extract. In the last 5 minutes of churning, add 5-10 squares Lily's chocolate, chopped. (Or use the low carb chocolate of your choice.)
For strawberry, omit vanilla extract and add 2 drops strawberry extract. In the last 5 minutes of churning, add 4 or more strawberries (chopped).
For chocolate, omit vanilla extract and add 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa.
For more easy flavors, browse your grocery store's extracts (found in the baking section) and add a drop or two in place of the vanilla extract in the original recipe.
