Taken from over here while desperately searching for a low fat ice cream recipe.

No Fat Vanilla Ice Cream

Serves 12

A delicious fat-free alternative to traditional high fat ice cream.

3 tsp unflavored gelatin
3 cup skim milk
6 Tbsp sugar
3 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp boiling water

Directions:

Mix gelatin with boiling water and stir until it dissolves.

Dissolve sugar in skim milk over a medium heat without letting the mixture boil.

Remove from the heat and add the gelatin mixture. Stir in vanilla.

Pour into a shallow container and freeze until the mixture has set but not frozen solid.

Mix with an electric beater until the mixture is white and fluffy. It should be at least double it's original volume. Freeze until solid.

Variations:
For a fruity flavor try adding fresh fruit when you beat the mixture. Serving suggestion not included in nutritional analysis.

Ostrich notes:
- This recipe is stupidly simple to make, uses common ingredients, has no fat and no gluten. Win in my book.
- I used a vanilla bean (split lengthwise) instead of vanilla extract. I threw it in the milk/sugar mix while it was cooking. It wasn't quite vanilla-y enough for me. So if you want a stronger flavor use another bean or two.
- If you have an ice cream maker, pour the final mix into a bowl and chill for 4-5 hours. Pour into the ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's directions.
- You could probably leave out the gelatin if you want to. I think it gives the ice cream an interesting consistency.
