This makes an incredibly rich and delicious ice cream.
Variations I've tried so far:
- maple walnut; added 1 Tbl maple extract + chopped walnuts
- raspberry ripple; took a cup of thawed, frozen raspberries, added a couple teaspoonfuls of SF raspberry Jello powder, cooked for a bit, & 'layered' the raspberry mixture in the vanilla ice cream when I put it in empty deli containers
- hazelnut coffee; substituted Davinci hazelnut syrup for the vanilla, replaced the water with brewed decaf hazelnut coffee. Added 6Tbl Folgers decaf 'crystals'. Topped with a few toasted chopped hazelnuts.

NOTES / TIPS
- Stevia is found at most health food stores in liquid, packet, and powder form. I recommend both the NOW & WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS brand Stevia Extract (white powder).
- Xanthan gum is a thickener used in most commercial ice creams. It can be found at any market or health food store that carries Bob's Red Mill flour products. It can also be ordered on line from www.bobsredmill.com It is rather expensive (about $8.00 for 8oz) but worth it.
- Isomalt is a 0 carb sugar replacer that looks, cooks, bakes & carmelizes just like sugar. I use Grandma Kate's No-Sugar Sweetener. See Links page for online order site. And see the Sweetener page on my main site for further information on all artificial sweeteners, including isomalt and stevia
