I made this tonight. I used a cup of raw, grass fed jersey organic whole milk frozen into ice cubes (really frozen, not just slushy) Then I left out the 1/2 and 1/2 (because my 50 something mind just forgets things sometimes, then I substituted 1/4 cup maple syrup for the sweetened condensed milk because I am trying to be cane sugar free. Then because I like lime better than lemon, I juiced 2 limes into the mix instead of a lemon. Then I used the "smoothie" button on my blendtec and it was almost good enough. Not quite the texture I wanted yet, so I blended it another 40 seconds on hi and voila! I had lime ice cream to die for. It was delicious and my husband loved it… though he thought of it more like sorbet than ice cream… kind of like the push up sticks we used to get as kids. Still he loved it and he loved knowing it didn’t have any cane sugar or artificial sweeteners. I think if I had remembered the 1/2 and 1/2 (or in my case, I was planning to add whipping cream instead of 1/2 and 1/2) it would have been more like ice cream than sorbet. Either way it was a big success at my dinner table tonight.
if you dont have half and half can you just use whipped cream
?
can you use something not frozen instead of frozen milk cubes??
