As I've said before, eating "irregular" meals is a very important factor in a successful diet. So this is the first "guilty" recipe I'm giving you to make at home. Compare the calories a "regular" ice cream gives you to this one. And you know what? It's not just that. If someone handed it to you to eat, you wouldn't think it was low-calorie ice cream. You have to taste it to understand, words are not enough. It's so good that it easily rivals commercial ice cream.
Here are 3 variations of the same recipe: One with a rich vanilla flavor, one with a regular vanilla flavor and one with a chocolate flavor. I also list the extra steps to follow if you want to add extra ingredients into the ice cream. Oreos, strawberries and cherries are tried and true and take the flavor to incredible levels. Note that in this case, you'll need to follow the recipe that gives the regular flavor as a base and obviously you'll need to add these ingredients to the calories.
Important note: I am NOT paid by any company and have no desire to advertise, but the recipe is tried and tested with these ingredients. If you replace the milk with another type of milk, for example, the taste, calories, proportions of the other ingredients, and the time it takes to get the mixture right will change.

Preparation instructions:
- Pour one Garni sachet and add 275ml of Alpro Roasted Almond Beverage, unsweetened in a mixer. Blend on low to medium speed for 10 minutes, until homogeneous and the lumps are gone. If you've done everything right, you'll notice the mixture slowly bubbles up.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl, uncovered, and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- Bring 70ml of water to a boil.
- Melt the amount of Vitam Soft Light, depending on whether you want the ice cream rich in flavor (40gr) or normal (30gr).
- Take 250ml Regilait Milk Skim Powder and add the boiling water, melted butter, 125ml Sucra Line Painter and the amount of vanilla extract, depending on whether you want the ice cream rich in flavor (2 teaspoons) or regular (half a teaspoon) and pour them into a mixer. Beat on low to medium speed for 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the Garni mixture from the refrigerator and pour it into the Regilait mixture. Again, beat in an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 10 minutes. If you've done everything right, you'll notice the ice cream slowly puffs up and will continue to do so until the mixture is around 1.5 liters, maybe more.
- Cover it with a lid, put it in the freezer and let it freeze for as many hours as it needs (10 hours+).
For making the ice cream with extra ingredients:
- You don't need too much material. 7 Oreos (+371KCal total or 12.5KCal per 50ml) or 14 chopped cherries (+70KCal total or 2.5KCal per 50ml) are enough and enough.
- Follow the recipe for the normal flavor but at the end, instead of putting the ice cream in the freezer, put it in the fridge for exactly 10 minutes to set.
- After removing it from the refrigerator, gradually add the extra ingredients you want to the ice cream, stirring carefully with a spatula or spoon until the pieces are evenly distributed throughout the ice cream, both in width and depth.
- Cover it with a lid, put it in the freezer and let it freeze for as many hours as it needs (10 hours+).
Before serving, leave it outside for 5-10 minutes so that it is soft and the texture is smooth.
