I was trying to decide whether or not to buy an icecream maker last summer. One of the big qusetions I had was if you could make sugar free ice cream. Tell me, is your ice cream maker something that you use because you have it around, or is it really something worth having. Also there's quite a variety out there. Any comments on the different kinds?
It was the first wedding gift I got. I used it once then never agaiin until I started this project. Now, I use it alot. You can make sugar free Ice cream. You can use maple syrup, agave syrup or honey (meh) instead. I'll mail you some agave syrup if you want. It is good stuff, sweeter than sugar and doesn't make the kids go nutso. I've stopped feeding my kid th amazing amount of sugar I used to, BTW.
I'm going to check and see if I can find Agave syrup tomorrow. If the supermarket doesn't have it, the health food store might. I love the unusual ice cream flavors you've got on here, I totally want to try some when the weather is nicer.
BTW- did you notice any difference in the kids when you removed the sugar? I keep reading new debates on it. People keep telling me these days that it doesn't make any difference, but I think that mine are more hyper and cranky on sugar.
