I can't tell you if the carbs are right but I would be willing to eat it for you. 

[umpa]

Looks good to me! My favorite with vanilla carb smart is root beer floats! Yummy!

[thedaltons6]

your silly sherri
umpa....do you think this will work? dont want to waste a whole carton of ice cream.........
Thanks a bunch!

[umpa]

I would make individual servings.If you do the whole carton when you refreeze it the water in the pumpkin will turn to ice.Take 1 cup ice cream at a time and add the pumkin(cabout 3 tablespoons) and spices.Refreeze for 30 minutes and serve.

Becareful thedaltons6 my son is Type 1 Diabetic and for some reason when he chops the SF candie in his ice cream his sugar is high . when he just eats the ice cream he does not get high . That maybe just him I dont know .
   But it is good LOL ,we learned all these Low carb ice cream treats for him 4 years ago when he was first diagnosed . Before we all found DOUG, UMPA & FTS !!!!!!!

Nope Im type one and the sugar free candies make my sugar high as well. I limit my intake of that alot....

[Doug Varrieur]

There' no doubt that certain sugar alcohols can raise blood sugar readings in type 1 diabetics. It's always a good idea to try different ones and check sugar levels shortly after. This way you can identify the safest ones for you.

Tyler did that today his sugar was 90 he ate 1 SF russel strovers candie 20 minuites later he was 150 . What is the reason that  the sugar alcohols would do that ? Would it also raise a type 2 diabetic and just a regular person ?

I'm glad to know this about sf candy - I did over-eat on it and gained pounds.    It will be off my list from now on...  Thanks!
