GELATO, LOW SUGAR, LOW FAT VANILLA AND VARIATIONS
An extra creamy, delicious and decadent but guilt free dessert. Dairy free, low or no sugar, low or no fat depending on your choice of soy and/or almond milk. Can be made with soy milk, almond milk, or combination. Soy milk seems to give a creamier texture, but you can get almond milk with 30 calories per cup. The beauty is, the choice is yours and in any event, it is much tastier and lower fat/calories than commercial ice cream. Plus you control the ingredients! Xanthan or guar gum is a must to get the silky, creamy mouth feel and the addition of alcohol will keep the gelato from freezing rock-hard. prep time doesn't include chilling time before churning.

Steps:
- In 3-qt saucepan, whisk together xylitol, protein powder, guar powder (OR XANTHAN POWDER), and salt.
- Beat eggs well. Add to dry ingredients with 1 cup of the milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, about 8 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Add remaining cold milk, vanilla bean paste, and alcohol.
- Chill at least 6 hours or overnight. Takes about 10 minutes to churn into soft-serve gelato in your ice cream maker. Freeze an additional 1-2 hours before serving, if you like a harder ice cream.
- *a note about alcohol. Use 1/4 cup spirits such as vodka; or 1/2 cup liqueur such as Baileys due the different alcohol percentage in each.
- * note to parents* The alcohol keeps the gelato from freezing rock hard when stored in your freezer. If you are giving this to children, please use common sense and do not use the alcohol. Instead, you can remove from the freezer and place in the refrigerator for abut 30 minutes to soften.
- VARIATIONS: Chocolate: replace protein powder with 3/4 cup cocoa powder. Replace vanilla vodka with 1/2 cup crème de cacao.
- Chocolate Mint: make chocolate as above but add 4 drops peppermint oil and use crème de menthe for your alcohol. Swirl in 1/4 cup of Magic Shell after churning.
- Coffee: add 2 - 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules with the dry ingredients. Serve with a drizzle of magic shell and whipped cream.
- Pumpkin: use basic recipe but add 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Add 3/4 cup canned pureed pumpkin after removing from heat. Use 1/2 cup caramel flavored Baileys Irish Cream or butterscotch schnapps.
- Caramel: use basic recipe, use Baileys caramel flavor or butterschtch schnapps. After churning, add 1/4 cup caramel topping.
- Strawberry: Prepare basic recipe. After removing from heat, stir in remaining cold milk, 3 tablespoons sugar free strawberry syrup such as Torani brand; 4 T vodka, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 cup frozen sliced strawberries, thawed, and pureed.

Steps:
- Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until thick and pale lemony yellow but still gritty, about 2 minutes; set aside.
- Heat the milk and cream in a medium saucepan until small bubbles pop up along the pan's inner rim; adjust the heat to keep the mixture very hot but do not boil.
- Whisk about 1/4 of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture until smooth, then whisk this combined mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture.
- Immediately decrease heat to very low (if you are using an electric stove, move the pan to a second burner just now set on low).
- Cook slowly, stirring constantly, while the mixture thickens to the consistency of smooth, very wet cake batter and can coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 7 minutes.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any extraneous bits of cooked egg; stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Refrigerate until cold, for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Just before you make the gelato, place the vanilla custard in the freezer, just to assure it is very cold, for no more than 10 minutes.
- Freeze the custard in your ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
- Serve at once (will be soft) or transfer to a large freezer container and store in the freezer, tightly sealed, for up to 1 month; soften at room temperature for up to 10 minutes before serving.

LOW-FAT CHOCOLATE SICILIAN GELATO
After lots of experimenting to develop a low-fat ice cream or gelato, I came up with this recipe. Despite the lengthy instructions, it's very simple to make. I couldn't believe how wonderfully rich and creamy it turned out to be. The secret is in the cocoa powder, which makes the gelato dense and rich without adding fat. Because the gelato contains no fat, leftovers will freeze hard. To soften, defrost leftovers in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.
