Strawberry Ice Cream

It is a perennial favorite. Berries and cream. Cold and sweet. What could be better on an August afternoon? I don't make ice cream too often, so this is a wonderful treat.

This recipe does have a few ingredients you won't find in your grandma's old recipe. A couple of low carb tricks are in order. The cottage cheese thickens it up and lowers the calories too.  And for a smoother texture and better freezing, go ahead and purchase some glycerin--it really adds to the mouthfeel.

Just 120 calories and 6 net g carb. Make room for this sweet treat! Last year, I used this ice cream for the base of a beautiful ice cream mini cake. This was so delish. Get the recipe here
