Chocolate ice cream is a summertime favorite, and delicious year round. Here's a great low calorie, low carb version that is tasty. Note that this isn't *super rich* - it has a light chocolate flavor.



Ingredients:

3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup Splenda
1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp Atkins chocolate syrup
dash salt

Mix all thoroughly and put it into your ice cream maker. Turn on and watch for about 25 minutes - it should slow to a halt when it's thick enough. You can easily double the recipe if you'd like.

This is a creamy chocolate ice cream with a gentle flavor. If you really need some more depth to your chocolate flavor, take one of the 0g chocolate bars you find in the supermarkets and shave it into fine slices. Mix that into the ice cream at this point. It won't really taste like "chips" - the shavings will be so small - but it will give your ice cream an added chocolate punch without any extra carbs.

* If you use Splenda in packets, be sure to adjust accordingly! The packets are a different level of sweetness compared to normal bulk Splenda.
