I have a Cuisinart 1 1/2 quart ice cream maker and love it. I pretty much just do the decadent, full fat stuff in it }( }( , but here are a couple of recipes that are in the book that came with it.
Lime Sherbet (31% fat, 61 cal, 2 g. fat)
3 cups whole milk
1 cup limeade concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons sugar
drops of green food coloring (optional)
Combine milk, limeade concentrate and sugar in a blender or food processor to mix. Then process in ice cream maker as directed.
To make orange sherbet, sub limeade for 1-1/4 cups o.j. concentrate and decrease sugar to 2 tablespoons.
Fresh Strawberry Sorbet (2% cal from fat, 96 cal, trace amount of fat)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup corn syrup
1 quart fresh strawberries, stemmed, quartered
4 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
Bring sugar and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely.
Combine berries and juice in a food processor and process until pureed. Press through a strainer to remove seeds. Combine with the cooled sugar/water mixture. Chill for 1 hour.
Process in ice cream maker as directed. It will have a "soft serve" texture when done. Transfer to an airtight container and "ripen" in the freezer for about 2 hours.
Have fun!!
Enjoy your ice cream. Skip lunch!
