Weird Ice Cream that’s GSD 1A Friendly

Posted on 25. Mar, 2007 by BMW in Glycogen Storage Disease, Glycogen Storage Disease Type 1A, ice cream, recipes, research

I ran out of ingredients that I normally used for makign our boys “special ice cream”, so I decided to improvise and see what I could come up with. I ended up with an ice cream that had the best texture that I’ve been able to make so far. I was dissappointed with the flavor myself but my kids didn’t seem to mind. Since the kids enjoyed it I thought that it was worthy of posting. I will continue to experiment with it as a I get a chance and post adjustments as I get a better flavor to the ice cream.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsweetened soy milk
1 cup dextrose
4 eggs
1 package of Kool-Aid

I simply mixed the soy milk, the dextrose and eggs with an electric beater and then cook on the stove for 5-6 minutes. Don’t let it boil (or burn) by consistantly stirring. Remove from heat and add a package of Kool-Aid or other unsweetened package of drink mix and mix again with the beater.

To make the ice cream we purchased the Gelato Jr by Lello to make our ice cream mixtures a reality. It’s a simple machine and we’ve been satisfied with it. Since it was a hot mixture it took the machine close to an hour to freeze.

Again, I was unimpressed with the flavor but my kids liked it. Since the consistancy was the closest to real ice cream that I’ve made as of yet I will continue to tweak it. Please comment if you have any suggestions or another GSD ice cream recipe that your family enjoys.
