You should try some of the premium brands of ice cream, or try making
your own ice cream. Using lots of real cream makes it nice and rich and
there is less need for sugar.

I am not supposed to eat ice cream anymore and that frozen yogurt is a
much healthier option. It is really hit and miss getting that stuff.
Some of them are really good and some of them are really horrible. I
tried a store brand at a local grocery store and it was pretty good. I
went back and got another, but black cherry this time. It was pretty
bad. AAMAOF, I just got back from shopping and had bought a tub of a
premium brand frozen yogurt. Space was tight in the freezer compartment
of the fridge. Instead of taking it out to the chest freezer I just took
out the half tub of the black cherry frozen yogurt, and left it on the
counter. It is going into the garbage.


BTW... have you tried sherbets? They can be pretty good, though the
cheaper products with crappy artificial flavours are usually pretty
disappointing. One of my favourites is watermelon sherbet, but I have
not been able to find it. You can also easily make your own sherbet by
pureeing fruit, mixing it with simple syrup and freezing it.
