Jon's Sugar free French Vanilla Ice Cream

We love ice cream for a snack or to make a shake in the evening. My DH came up with this recipe so that we could have a sugar free ice cream. Hope you enjoy it.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  cup Splenda sugar substitute
• 4 1⁄2 cups  fat-free half-and-half
• 2  tablespoons vanilla
• 3  eggs

Directions

1. Mix all thoroughly in a sauce pan.
2. Cook in a saucepan over low heat, stirring regularly until it thickens*Note that it won't be as thick as a sugar based custard would be.
3. Cook 15-20 minutes or until medium thick.
4. Transfer custard to a bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour or until it is completely cooled.
5. Put custard in your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
6. If you use the packet Splenda instead of the pourable Splenda be sure to cut back some as they are sweeter than the bulk.
