I took a microplane grater and grated a little bit of bakers chocolate into the ice cream, it was really good. My bag was a little too big, so not everythign froze, used a little too much vanilla. I'm going to try grating a vanilla bean into it next time instead. Can't wait to try it with the mango syrup.
BeckyB, Here are the specifics regarding quantities of cream one should be eating during induction. I got this from Atkins.com. I guess the ice cream recipe is fine, but 1/2 cup is too much during this important phase of your food plan. HTH

Add up the carb counts of the items you actually use, especially your sweetener choice and flavorings, e.g., cocoa or coffee. Voila, total carb count, then divide by number of servings. If you eat it all, 1 serving...
