Ingredients:
easy mock vanilla ice cream, recipe follows |
8 large strawberries, whole |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon sugar substitute (recommended: splenda) |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Prepare mock ice cream as directed. In a bowl, coat strawberries with the balsamic vinegar and sugar substitute. Place strawberries on the hot grill to mark, only about 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve a couple grilled berries in the Champagne glass with the mock vanilla ice cream.
3. Cook's Note: Garnish with low carb whipped cream, toasted almonds, a strawberry fan, and a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
4. Easy Mock Vanilla Ice Cream:
5. 1 cup heavy cream
6. 1/2 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
7. 1 1/2 teaspoons no sugar added vanilla extract
8. 2 tablespoons whole milk ricotta cheese
9. With an electric mixer on high, whip the heavy cream in a bowl just until frothy. Add in the sugar substitute, vanilla, and ricotta cheese, and continue to whip on high until peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or cream will break.
10. Using a 3-ounce ice cream scoop, place one scoop in each Champagne glass. Freeze to make faux ice cream, or serve refrigerated as a parfait.
