Splendid Chocolate Frosty

Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream (6.6)
dash vanilla (1.5)
2 pkg Low Fat SF cocoa mix (8)

Start whipping heavy cream with mixer. Add vanilla. When soft peaks form, add cocoa mix slowly, and continue beating until hard peaks form (only another 30 seconds or so). Put mixture in freezer. After 30 minutes, stir with fork to break up frozen parts around edges. Keep checking after about 20-30 minutes, and stir until it's cold enough and the right consistency. Tastes like a Wendy's Frosty. (Total 16.1 carbs - serves 3@ 5.4 ea.)

2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 c water
2 1/2 t liquid splenda (or 3/4 c Splenda)

Cocoa Syrup

Ingredients:
1 1/2 T liquid splenda (or sweetener to equal 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup cocoa
dash salt
1/2 cup hot water
1 t vanilla

Mix cocoa and salt. Over med heat, gradually add the hot water, stirring to keep mixture smooth. Add liquid splenda. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture boils. Cook and stir 1 min. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. (May need to add more hot water if mixture is too thick).

This was really rich and creamy, but without the liquid Splenda, it is very high in carbs.
