Unfortunately, coconut milk is pretty much a fat bomb in spite of the fact that it's vegetarian and natural. We've used silken tofu - the kind recommended for smoothies and frostings - with some success in our ice cream maker, but wonder if you might have other recommendations.

Imitation sugars are completely unfamiliar to me and I was wondering if you might have some idea of what the equivalent sugar requirement would be when using plain old sugar or icing sugar if you think that better. My interest in this recipie is from a dairy free perspective only. Many Thanks, Bevan Hi,

Stevia is good in some things like iced tea and lemon/lime aid. It's awful in oatmeal. Erythritol does the same thing to me that sorbitol does.

It makes me feel thirsty. Sometimes I don't mind, but overall I prefer stevia. But then there are plenty of people who prefer xylitol and erythritol. To each his own! :-) Rick,

Will do. I think xylitol is often misunderstood and confused w/sorbitol and maltitol. I have no problems using it. I'm going to run right out to Wal-Mart and buy an ice cream maker (in 40 degree temps)! Thanks! Will do. I think xylitol is often misunderstood and confused w/sorbitol and maltitol.

You would need 6 tablespoons of agave for this recipe, so I'm thinking that 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) of xylitol might be just right. Just to be sure, I would start with 6 and work your way up. That way you don't end up with something too sweet. Keep in mind that the finished ice cream will taste slightly less sweet and less intense in flavor than the batter, so you do want the batter to taste sweeter than you want the end product to be. Good luck! Do let me know how the xylitol works for you and how much you used. Rick,

Let me know how it turns out if you decide to try it! Hannah,

I am not a huge fan of stevia, would you have any suggestions for using agave instead? Thanks. This looks amazing.
