LAYERED JELLO SALAD

3 small pkg sugar free jello - any flavor or combo

One 8-ounce pkg cream cheese, softened

1 cup whipping cream

3 tablespoons Splenda

1 teaspoon vanilla

Assorted fresh berries

Make one box of jello according to directions. Pour into a 9x13 inch glass pan or into a trifle dish. You can add fruit to this layer if you want. Place in fridge and let set up completely.

In blender or food processor place another pkg of jello powder. Add the boiling water and - carefully holding the lid down so that the hot water doesn't blow the lid off the blender - whiz it up till dissolved. Add the cream cheese and whiz until smooth. DO NOT ADD THE REMAINING WATER. Pour the cheese mixture over the top of the set jello. Return to fridge and chill until set.

Make the remaining box of jello according to directions and slowly pour over the set cheese mixture. Add fruit if desired. Return to fridge and set completely.

In a small bowl beat the cream, Splenda, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread over the last set jello layer. Garnish with fresh berries...you can even make a flag design!!

Filling:

1 box SF vanilla Jello pudding

SUSAN MARIA'S VANILLA CUSTARD (fiddled with by Linda!)

4 eggs, beaten

Pinch of salt

3/4 cups milk (skim 1%, 2%, whatever)

One 12-ounce can evaporated milk (skim, regular...)

1/4 cup DaVinci sugar free syrup (ANY flavor is great so far)

1/2 cup Splenda Granular

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place six 4-ounce custard cups/ramekins in a 9x13 baking pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, salt, milk, evaporated milk, syrup, Splenda, and vanilla. Pour, through a fine mesh sieve, into the custard cups. Pour very hot (not boiling) water into the baking pan coming halfway up the cups. Bake for 25-45 minutes. The time will vary depending on the humidity, altitude. They should jiggle slightly, but a sharp knife inserted into the middle comes out clean and nothing oozes out of the cut when gently pressed.

Remove from the water bath and allow to cool on a wire rack. Makes 6 servings.

~~~~~~~

Protein Ice Cream

I count myself as the protein ice cream queen. The recipe I got from this board is:

In the blender, for each serving (I can get 3 servings in my 1 1/2 qt Rival, so I triple it)

1/3 c. cottage cheese (I've also used ricotta cheese or fage yogurt)

1/3 c. of 1 or 2 Davinci sf flavors (for instance, with LD Chocolate Coconut, I use German Choc. cake and vanilla)

1 TBS sf, ff dry pudding mix (like cheesecake flavor)

1 scoop of protein powder

1/2 c. crushed ice

1 TBS or more of egg beaters (opt. but it makes things creamier)

opt: 1" frozen banana

Blend til super-smooth. Put into ice cream maker that has been sprayed with Pam. I eat protein ice cream every night.

other options; add unsweetened coconut, frozen blueberries, sf preserves, crystal light (such as the cherry into vanilla!)

This will not fail! I have used every type of protein powder I have ever bought and it always works.

~~~~~~~

LOW CARB VANILLA ICE CREAM from BostonKitty

1 cup water (0 carbs)

1 1/4 cup whipping cream (8 carbs)

1/4 cup Davinci vanilla syrup

1 cup isomalt (0 carbs)

1/2 tsp salt (0 carbs)

1 tsp xanthan gum (0 carbs) (provides smooth texture)

1 tsp vanilla extract (1 carb)

3 cups whipping cream (20 carbs)

Combine water, 1 & 1/4 cup cream, and Davinci syrup.

Pour 1/2 of this mixture into a saucepan and scald it (heat to about 175 degrees) until bubbles form around the edge.

Remove from heat, add isomalt, salt and xanthan gum, stirring with whisk until dissolved. -

Stir in remaining 1/2 of water/cream mixture, and whipping cream

Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Recipe makes 2 quarts. Total of 30 carbs, or 2 carbs / 1/2 cup serving This makes an incredibly rich and delicious ice cream.

Variations I've tried so far: - maple walnut; added 1 Tbl maple extract + chopped walnuts - raspberry ripple; took a cup of thawed, frozen raspberries, added a couple teaspoonfuls of SF raspberry Jello powder, cooked for a bit, & 'layered' the raspberry mixture in the vanilla ice cream when I put it in empty deli containers - hazelnut coffee; substituted Davinci hazelnut syrup for the vanilla, replaced the water with brewed decaf hazelnut coffee. Added 6Tbl Folgers decaf 'crystals'. Topped with a few toasted chopped hazelnuts.

Suzy's recipe: (*I think)

1/3 cup lowfat cottage cheese

1" chunk of frozen banana

lots of crushed ice

I blend this in my personal blender and then pour it into my Cuisinart ice cream machine (which I have sprayed HEAVILY with Pam - spray the mixer blade, too)

When this is done, drizzle a teaspoon or two of strong SF Hershey's chocolate syrup over it.

Ice Cream Machine Ice Cream - Low Fat, Low Carb Recipe By :Chuck Dennis

3 eggs -- beaten

18 packets artificial sweetener -- splenda or equal, equivalent to 1 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract

1 Quart nonfat milk -- or whole milk

Beat into a mixing bowl, break 3 eggs, add 18 packets Equal, Splenda or whatever you are using -- equivalent to 1 cup of Sugar. Beat until well blended. Add 1 Tb Vanilla Extract and 1 cup of the Milk. Blend well. (Options: Add 1 teaspoon of either Strawberry Extract or Lemon Extract)

I love the Chocolate Fudge (lean dessert protein powder) with water, blended with ice and 1T of SF/FF chocolate pudding mix, 1T PB and oh, my goodness, a chocolate pb shake, sinful. It is yummy with the chocotate fudge, blended with ice and 1T sf/ff chocolate pudding mix too.

I have blended the vanilla with water, ice, and 1T of sf/ff butterscotch pudding, it is the best shake ever, tastes very caramely, I am a nut for caramel, tastes like it came from a malt shop.

The banana creme or banana nut with water, ice and 1T of banana pudding mix, same thing, delicious!

The sf/ff pudding mix makes the protein creamy, even creamier if you use nonfat milk to up the protein count.

So far I've only made it once, just Matrix Cookies N Cream and water... two servings in my one quart maker. It was good.

If you are planning on serving this at a party - triple the recipe! This baby is good!! Serve with a plate of Murray's sugar free double-fudge chocolate cookies or Joseph's brownie bites for an impressive dessert. (For non-ops the thin chocolate wafers like these would be fabulous.)

CHOCOLATE MINT CHEESE BALL

One 8-ounce pkg. reduced-fat cream cheese (full fat would be good, too)

1/3 cup Splenda

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

3 tablespoons finely crushed sugar-free peppermint candies

1/4 cup finely chopped sugar-free dark chocolate or mini chocolate chips

1/3 cup coarsely chopped sugar-free peppermint candies, reserved

In a medium bowl combine the cream cheese, Splenda, vanilla, finely crushed candies, and chocolate. Place in a small plastic wrap-lined bowl and chill 4 hours or overnight. Unmold cheese ball and place on a pretty plate. Gently press the coarsely chopped candies onto the surface. (The candies tend to get "wet" if left in the fridge too long. I would press the them onto the surface just before serving.)
