My mother used to buy use these little paper cups of ice cream. They had a paper lid with a wooden spoon attached. Inside was half orange sherget and half vanilla ice cream.

I am looking to make a naturally low fat ice cream without using artificial ingredients or sweeteners. I am using an electric ice cream machine with a freezer bowl.

Answer
Eating Well Chocolate Ice Cream
3 cups 1% low-fat milk
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 large egg yolks
2/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup Marshmallow Fluff

1. In a large heavy saucepan, combine 2 1/2 cups milk, corn syrup and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar, until steaming.

2. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cocoa, cornstarch and the remaining 1/2 cup cold milk until smooth.

3. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the egg-yolk mixture; then return to the pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, about 3 minutes. (Because the custard is thickened with cornstarch, it will not curdle when it boils.)

4. Remove from the heat, add chocolate, and stir until melted. Stir in coffee liqueur or brewed coffee and vanilla.

5. Transfer the custard to a large clean bowl and place a piece of wax paper directly over the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Cool completely. Add Marshmallow Cream and mix with a whisk until as smooth as possible. (The mixture will be a little lumpy; lumps will break down during stir-freezing.) Chill until cold.

6. Pour into the canister of an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Number of Servings: 6

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM
1/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (natural)
1 cup Fat Free Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 cup Fat Free Half & Half
2 tsp Vanilla
½ cup mini chocolate chips
In a medium mixing bowl beat the sugar into the eggs until slightly thickened and pale yellow. Set aside.
Bring the milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat. Slowly beat the hot milk into the eggs and sugar. Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk until the custard thickens slightly. Do not let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble.
Remove from the heat and beat in the peanut butter with a whisk. Pour the hot custard through a strainer into a large clean bowl. Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in the condensed milk, half & half and vanilla.
Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight. Pour into ice cream maker canister and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions. Add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips when mixture is semi-frozen in ice cream maker.
Also, you may want to pick up the book "The Ultimate Ice Cream Book" or the Ben and Jerry's Ice cream and Desserts book. I have heard good things about both. I think the "Ultimate" book has a good vanilla lo fat recipe that makes a good starting point.

What kind of food do I ask people to bring for a potluck?

This is what I have so far:

Cheese pizza
Pie
Dinner entreé of your choice
Fruit tray
Macaroni and cheese dish
Potato Salad
Drinks
Ice cream
Paper plates
plastic cups
Plastic forks
Napkins

Anything else??

Answer
The whole point of a "pot luck" is to have your guests bring whatever they want.
You could let them know what you have already, and let them decided what is needed. Many guests would appreciate a little help, though. You might suggest that a certain guest bring a main dish, side dish, dessert, or drink, etc.

Hope I've helped.

What is your best ice cream experience and why?

Was it because the ice cream was special (why?), who you were with, the good time that you had, the location?

Answer
Mmmmmm......1979. I was in Florence, Italy with a man I was madly in love with, strolling through the streets of the oldest part of that city after dinner one night, when we came upon a little gelateria under the bright light of a streetlamp...with a crowd packed about 5 people deep at the counter and spilling out the door into the street. It was called "Vivoli." We just had to see what the fuss was all about, so we fought our way up to the counter and I ordered, in my fractured Italian, "fragola con panna montada"... strawberry with whipped cream. It was heaven. It tasted like the sweetest, freshest strawberries right off the vine on a sunny summer day. My sweetheart ordered a "misto" of chocolate, hazelnut and rasperry, and that was pure decadence in a paper cup.

We strolled on down the cobbled street back to our little pensione near the Ponte Vecchio, trading tastes in between the kisses. That was a gelato experience I will never forget!
