Cooks' Note

This is not a low-fat dessert! However, neither is it a high-glycemic index dessert. If you know you will be making ice cream on a given day, plan your other meals to be very low in saturated fat. And as with many vanilla ice cream recipes, peaches, strawberries, or other fruits can be added while cooking and freezing. Eating ice cream every day is not a good idea if you are trying to lose weight! Make yourself some meringue cookies with the leftover egg whites.
