  1. This is a great recipe. A little time consuming waiting for the ice cream to set, but makes a fantastic desert for the summer. I could only get a light and creamy low fat chocolate ice cream, so it did not hold as firm as the vanilla low fat ice cream, so next time I will make sure the chocolate ice cream is a firmer one. This ice cream disappeared immediatelty from the freezer eaten by the whole family not just DH (diabetic), which he was not happy about at all. The nuts and fruit are a great addition miced in with the ice cream. A great recipe which I will be making again especially for summer. Something a little different and a great treat for the diabetic in the family........... and even those who arent !!! Thanks Chef Potts

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
