Sugar Free Ice Cream Recipes
sweetened with fruit juice concentrate

These sugar free ice cream recipes use fruit juice concentrate as the sweetener instead of refined cane or beet sugar. Make sure you use concentrate that is 100% fruit juice.

This technique works best if you're making fruit-flavored ice cream, of course. Apple or white grape juice concentrates go well without most fruits without overpowering the fruit’s own flavor.

This type of ice cream is best if eaten within three days (it's so delicious, that shouldn't pose a problem!). After that, they may freeze quite hard, so you'll have to let them thaw a while before scooping.

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Ingredients:

4 C strawberries – washed and hulled (or 1 16 oz bag of frozen strawberries)
2 C cream (or soy cream to make this non-dairy)
1 C apple juice concentrate

1. Whirl the strawberries, cream and apple juice concentrate through the blender until smooth.
   
   
2. Taste for sweetness – it should taste a little sweeter than you would like your ice cream to be. (Cold blunts sweetness, so once your ice cream is frozen it will not seem quite as sweet.)
   
   
3. Pour into ice cream maker.

Other Fruit-Based Ice Cream Flavors

You can use the above recipe to create an infinite variety of your own sugar free ice creams, simply by substituting an equal amount of other fruits. Keeping the other ingredients the same, try blueberries, raspberries or peaches instead of the strawberries.

Replace them with cherries and use natural cherry juice concentrate instead of the apple juice and you'll have a beautiful, jeweled colored dessert.
