Low carb sherbert? Does it exsist?

[Origam]

One of the gals at work is looking for low carb sherbert because her hubbie was put on a low-carb diet by his doctor for health reasons. Of course since I'm doing Atkins, everyone comes to me for low-carb stuff, but I don't have an answer on this one!

Anyone know if low-carb sherbert exsists and if it does where she could get some?

I have been looking for some for over a year so I would love to know the answer to that as well--I know that a company called LeCarb was coming out with a "frozen desert" but I haven't seen it in the stores yet--since they did not refer to it as an "ice cream" but a "frozen desert" I'm hoping that it may be more like a shrebert. Sorry I'm not much help. :no


Here's a link--I'm wondering about the lemon and strawberry flavors

Me again, man, you've gotten me obsessing about sherbert now--anyway, I found a couple of really easy and yummy sounding recipes if she doesn't mind whipping some up..

Wow!!! Thanks. She was telling me she would make her own if she knew how, but didn't have an ice cream maker. This will help her a lot! :joy

You're my hero! :hug

Just a little tip: there's only one "r" in "sherbet".

Guess it's a good thing people can't get put in jail for not being able to spell. :sarcasm

I am still pretty new to this, but I just drove by TCBY and they are advertising a new "low-carb lovers" frozen yogurt. Of course I had to try it and it was sooo good. Only 4 net carbs for a 1/2 cup serving, but of course the serving size they give you is at least a cup! Anyway, it might be a good option.
