Coconut Ice Cream - No Machine Needed!
I was looking for ice cream recipes using coconut milk, and found this one. Instead of using the 1 cup of sugar it called for, I just used about 1/4 cup of Xylitol (which you can buy at health food stores and online). I don't have an ice cream maker, so was really happy to see a recipe that didn't need one! 
It was so creamy and delicious, and really hit the spot. I am amazed that it could be so light and creamy without having to be constantly stirred in a machine.
I ate some last night and was actually worried that somehow it would spike my blood sugars in the morning. Not only did it not do that, but in the morning I tested my blood sugar and it was the lowest it has been in the morning so far- 103! I couldn't believe it. (The lowest morning sugar I have gotten before has been 115). I was ecstatic! (To non-diabetics, 103 might not sound that impressive, but believe me...it is a really huge accomplishment for me, being gestational diabetic. Before going on this diet this pregnancy, my fasting blood sugar levels would be sometimes from 173-200, which is really high and not good!)
Here is the recipe for the ice cream.
