Ice Cream Serving Size Matters

1:2 Cup measureHow important is SERVING SIZE???? 

Well the next time you are enjoying high quality ice cream you'll be shocked to find the manufacture defines that as ONLY ½ cup. Yes, get out the single ½ cup measurer next time you dish up your treat.

Then measure out what YOU consider to be a serving and MULTIPLY the sugar, fat and calories times the # of ½ cup measures you ACTUALLY put in your bowl. Shocking isn't it?

That is why I make my own sugar-free ice cream and pack it in 3 oz cups for freezing. The perfect size for portion control and it truly is just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. You'll find a great recipe for Sugar-free Dark Cherry ice cream on page 39, in Cooking with Judy .
