If you use maltitol crystals or syrup for your sweetener, it will NOT freeze rock hard. Try this one--I think it's delicious:

Trella's Vanilla Ice Cream
1 1/2 cup half and half
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla (or 1 tbsp banana extract or whatever you want)
1/2 cup maltitol crystals
1/4 cup maltitol syrup
3 eggs
Mix well and pour into freezer bowl; freeze about 40 minutes (fluffier than 30 minutes). Freeze leftovers--which will not be rock hard; you can eat it right out of the freezer with a spoon, I promise. My non-LC family nor I have had any GI problems from this recipe and we eat fairly generous sized portions--usually 5 or 6 servings total from the whole recipe. (But I have to stay away from gummi bears made with isomalt )

Has anyone compared not/Sugar with not/Starch in ice cream? I know they're two different combinations of vegetable gums-- was wondering if it matters which to use.
