What's for desert? Diabetic, that is! Ice Cream or Sherbert, neither I hear, what do you all say? Cravings, Pat Roth

Actually, I like fresh fruit with a LITTLE homemade whipped cream. I can just put a tiny bit of sugar in the whipping cream (fake stuff for those of you who can tolerate it) and maybe a little vanilla and eat a whole cup of strawberries! YUMMY! Go ahead, don't give it up totally, there are ways around it!

Oh, thank you! That is what I was wanting, an easy and nutritous way to end a meal with a dab of sweet! I will try that as I love strawberries and they are available right now. Thank you again! PR

**YES YOU CAN HAVE ICE CREAM**
***MAKE YOUR OWN***

This is really good! Try it...

((Can't-Get-Any-Easier Ice Cream))

1 can of Redi-Whip...

That's it!

Directions
Take the Redi-Whip and shake. Open it and spray in a round, freezer proof container. Spray in a circular motion, filling in the center last. Put top on and place in freezer. Wait 2-4 hours and you have a soft serve that tastes just like vanilla ice cream! You can use low carb candy and stir it in or sprinkle on top for a tasty alternative. My fave---melt low carb peanut butter and drizzle on top. Yum-o!

Nutritional Facts
Servings- varies by can

Carbs- less than one gram per serving

That is a awesome idea! I wanted to know if you had any ideas for people who are lactose intollerent caus as bad as I want to fix this dessert I know it will not do me any good, If you know what I mean. Nice recipe anyway.

Pat Roth replied July 12, 2009 4:22 AM 

Oh, brother, another wrinkle in the search for a bit of "sweet" Does anyone know about lactose products? I know that there is milk, is there a type of cream or cheese---I swirled my Cool Whip into a dish this eve, stuck a whole strawberry in the center, so tomorrow I can have my SWEETS! Surely there is another way around the real cream thing! Good Luck to you!! Hugs, PR

I have an addition on the frozen Cool Whip, what was available at our stores, and was disappointed in --it froze out the air, I guess, and was just a
vague trace of the cream left--but the frozen strawbery was delicious, so one might just freeze the strawberries, THEN use a low cal topping. have to read labels--but I guess that I can add that in my list of "Things to do!" ha--Good Luck on the sweets for the SWEET! PR
