I would think any ice cream recipe could have splenda substituted for suger....but milk is not low carb....nor is most fruit. Linda C

Back in the 1950's my grandmother made a frozen fruit cocktail salad. I'd like to find the recipe but everything I see calls for cream cheese or minature marshmallows in the mixture - neither of which were in her's. I'm wondering if these recipe ingredients are a regional thing. She lived in San Francisco if that makes a difference. Anyone from the bay area remember this salad as a child of the fifties?

Janet, I don't know if there are a lot, but I have made sugar free or low sugar ice cream for Dad, his favorite was a brown sugar pecan made with brown sugar Splenda, although that's really part brown sugar, it's not sugar free. In addition, because he was diabetic, the fat content in ice cream was pretty high. I did make frozen yogurt for him out of my homemade low fat yogurt, some artificial sweetener and whatever fruit I had on hand that was good, I pureed that, mixed everything together and put it in the ice cream machine. It tasted really good but it froze really hard, it had to sit for a minute out of the freezer before it could be scooped. Anyway, here's the brown pecan recipe, adapted from a recipe I got here, I hope someone claims it because I got it before I knew enough to put a name with everything. Brown Sugar Pecan Ice Cream ============================ 1 cup milk 1 scant packed cup brown sugar 4 egg yolks 3 cups heavy cream 1 cup pecan pieces . Heat the cream. milk and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot. place the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk briefly. Still whisking, slowly pour in about 1 cup of the hot liquid. When the mixture is blended, slowly pour it into the liquid in the saucepan, whisking constantly. Cook over heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. Be sure not let the mixture boil at any time or will curdle. strain into a clean bowl and cool thoroughly. Stir in the nuts. Pour the mixture into the bowl of the machine and freeze. Makes 5 cups.
