I made this one last night and it was as good as the full fat sugar ice creams. Anyone else have healthy ice cream recipes? I made this one up after researching other recipes. Pear & Toasted Pecan low fat Ice Cream 3 ripe pears - peeled and diced 2 cups skinny cow non fat milk 1 tablespoon non-fat powdered milk 1 tablespoon corn starch 1 egg yolk 1 vanilla bean 1/4 cup agave syrup 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans Heat agave syrup and when hot add pears. Cook for about 5 minutes until pears are cooked through. Heat milk, corn starch, powdered milk and 1 egg yolk -- whisking until just below boil and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Pour 1 cup of hot custard into agave pears whisking --- then pour in the rest of the milk/custard mixture. Scrape vanilla bean in the custard pear mixture. Cool mixture to room temperature. Blend until smooth in a blender. Refrigerate until cold. Then freeze in ice cream maker. Toast pecans in a dry pan. 5 minutes before ice cream is done -- add the pecans.
