first off, get yourself an ice cream maker. the countertop models with the inner cannister that you freeze beforehand run around $50. then get yourself a copy of ben & jerry's ice cream cookbook. there are 3 or 4 recipes right in the front for different bases... wherever you see "milk", substitute half & half or light cream. wherever you see "sugar", substitute dry splenda. just make sure that whatever flavor you want to make, you keep the ingredients low-carb friendly. churn according to the manufacturer's directions.
i will warn you, whenever i used those bases, no matter how long i left the ice cream in the machine to churn, they always froze rock solid (though they did taste good). i had to start adding 1/4c of alcohol to the flavors in order to get scoopable results. i've used kahlua and bacardi melon rum with good results.
lately i've been using an egg custard base for my ice cream, but that takes 3 days to make.
