Low Carb Sweet and Sour Sauce Ice Cream

There was a video I watched a while back where a bunch of weird ice creams were made and the guests tried each of them. One that surprised them both was sweet and sour sauce ice cream. I don’t think they actually tried an ice cream made with sweet and sour sauce. I think it was actually duck sauce. I say this because of the ice cream’s color in the video. Duck sauce is a mixture of vinegar with apricot and peach flavors. Sweet and sour sauce is pineapple, vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic, and soy sauce. A duck sauce flavored ice cream isn’t a stretch of the imagination. But real sweet and sour sauce? Ketchup and soy sauce in ice cream?! Could this actually work?

Low Carb Kulfi Ice Cream

I found a recipe for kulfi ice cream in Malcolm Stogo’s “Incredible Ice Cream” book. Malcolm says, “Kulfi is the traditional Indian ice cream and has a strong cooked-milk flavor and a dense texture.”

In India, Kulfi is served in cone-shaped, lidded metal containers that are rubbed between the hands to warm and release the flavor of the ice cream. It is a very time-consuming flavor to prepare and I am not sure it is suited to an American palate. The overall taste is interesting and makes a terrific dessert after an Indian curry meal.

Low Carb Banana Curry Ice Cream

This flavor was inspired by Lindsay Clendaniel. She concocted a banana curry ice cream using mashed up bananas, brown sugar, lemon juice, and sweet curry powder. Curries are like fingerprints: each one is unique. I made sure to purchase the same one she used in the original.
