Carb Smart Ice Cream with Blueberry Sauce
Ingredients:
- ½ cup of low-carb vanilla ice cream, Bryers is my favorite and it is called carb-smart
- ¼ cup of frozen blueberries
- 1 small packet of Splenda or 1/2 teaspoon of sweetener
- A dollop of sugar-free, fat-free cool whip
Directions:
- Place blue berries in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals until they make a sauce like consistency. It usually takes me 11/2 minutes. Add sweetener to make blueberry sauce.
- Pour blueberry sauce over ice cream in blow and top with a dollop of cool whip.
Health Tip: Any kind of berries are a good kind of fruit to eat. They don’t have too much sugar and they provide lots of vitamins your body needs. This has become one of my favorite desserts and I discovered the sauce by simply trying to thaw the blueberries in the microwave. A sauce came out, and when I added a tiny bit of sweetener it was delicious over my ice cream. Little tricks like this one allow me to enjoy the sweets in life even though I don’t do well with sugar.

Thanks so much Kim. I’m so glad you can use any of my craxy concoctions. I do have fun making healthy food taste good. I have a bunch of new recipes that I just have to find time to post. How are you doing in DC? I would love to be able to get together again someday. I’ll will look you up if we are ever in the area. God bless!
