Chocolate Mint Fudge Ice Cream
Sounds pretty decadent huh? Sounds like it would be loaded with calories, huh? Its definitely decedent, and its definitely NOT loaded with calories. How does 82 calories for 1/2 cup sound? This is the answer to my dilemma of high calorie ice cream. I can make my ice cream and eat it too! Yay! You want to know the secret? Two ingredients:
3 cups of non-fat milk
+2 packages of whatever flavor of instant pudding you like (I used sugar-free chocolate, I know, big surprise!)
+Whatever add-ins you want (I used 10 Andes Mints, chopped)
= PURE HEAVEN
No, but seriously, its wonderful! Think of a chocolate fudgesicle with chocolate mints in it. YUM. Seriously. No joke. If you are looking for real chocolate ice cream, maybe just make normal ice cream, but for a low calorie version, this works wonders. Now I can sit and eat my ice cream while Scott eats his fuller fat, a little higher calorie ice cream and not feel like I am being left out-because that is how I feel when others can eat something I can't. Total social eater, I know. That is why we do substitutions, like this... I love it! Can't wait to try other add-ins and different types of ice cream, like vanilla pudding with chopped oreo cookies. YUM! And, the best part-its thick and creamy like ice cream should be! WONDERFUL!
Okay, I don't know if you could tell, but I am excited!
