Don't post or read here much, so forgive if this has been mentioned.
For you folks like myself dying for ice cream, Breyers has lo-carb now.
Just picked up some Breyer's Strawberry lo-carb ice cream last night. Still lots of carbs but you won't trash your diet for three days with it. 16 servings per 1/2 gallon, 10 gms carbs, - 3 gms fiber, -3 gms sugar alcohols for a total of 4 gms per serving. I could only find it in strawberry. It's creamy with a slight plastic taste like you get from plastic utensils, but there's no plastic aftertaste. Has a light feel to it, rather than cloying like regular ice creams. Priced the same as their regular creams. Overall, real good to excellent.
edit.......it's in a medium blue container labelled "Carbsmart" and is made with Splenda......

I've only tried the vanilla, but I like it a lot. 4g net carbs per 1/2 cup, I found it at Albertson's (mine seems better than most on this, since the general manager is a low-carber himself).

This is great if ya got an ice cream maker and 30 mins handy..
1) Pour 2 cups heavy whipping cream into a pot and heat it
to body temp - beat/whip it the whole time..
2) Dump in 4 egg yolks, one at a time, and continue blending, the
mixture should start thickening by now.
3) Pop in 2 tbs. of sugar free Jello Pudding Powder (banana and
choco work the best..) and continue beating/mixing until it's rich
and creamy with no clumps.
4) remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. After cooled,
pop in 8-10 packets of Aspartame (Equal) (or your fave sweetener)
and blend in 1 tbsp. of vanilla extract.
5) pour into ice cream maker and spin up until done..
6) ENJOY!!
Makes soft-server "Dairy Queen" like very low-carb ice cream..
