Listen up, late-night snackers! This recipe can help you in times of trouble. It makes a batch of soft-serve ice cream to store in your freezer for whenever an ice cream fantasy hits. It is ultra Fuel Pull, and you won’t believe how creamy it is. It’s so gosh-darn perfect for evening snackies—a time when you shouldn’t be taking in oodles of calories because all you’ll be doing soon is sleeping. You can add mint extract or pure essential mint oil, or any other flavors you dream up that will harmonize with the whipped white clouds of this soft serve. Grated Skinny Chocolate (page 377) or shavings of 85% dark chocolate are gorgeously delicious sprinkled on top or stirred in. Of course, if you are a chocolate junky for real, you can make your Polar Bear slip into a puddle of tar, turning him into a chocolate brown bear by adding cocoa powder. Polar Bear Soft Serve is found in the “Sweet Treats – Frozen Treats” section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 364. This recipe is a multiple-serve recipe that makes 5 to 6 large servings.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place 2 cups of the water, the whey, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a blender. Start blending, then slowly sprinkle in the Gluccie.
-
In a little cup, dissolve the gelatin first in the cool water and then add the hot water. Make sure there are no lumps. Then add the coconut oil so it melts into the warm mixture. Add to the blender and blend very well.
-
Pour the blended mixture into a large pitcher and add the remaining 4 cups water. Stir well, then pour into 6 ice cube trays. Fill each tray or container about three-fourths full. Put the trays in the freezer to harden. Once frozen, either leave them in the trays or transfer the cubes to zippies.
-
Once you are ready for your ice cream, put the bowl you want to eat it from in the freezer to chill.
-
Take out one serving’s worth of cubes (one tray’s worth) and put them in a food processor. Whiz until they make a grainy mixture. Add the milk, and process a good long time, until creamy and light. You might need to pulse the machine a few times, then turn it off and push some of the mixture down, then resume. You don’t want it icy, so let it cream up well. (You could also use a high-end blender, letting it whir on low speed at first to break up the cubes, then slowly raise the speed and blend until whipped. The blender gives a lighter, cloudlike texture whereas the food processor yields a more regular soft-serve texture.)
