With multiple flavor variations, this Wink Frozen Desserts copycat
recipe, known as the 100 calorie pint, is the best thing ever! Now, when you have a bad day and eat an entire pint, your day goes from bad to better! ~ All with no guilt!
Flavorings:
The choices of flavors are nearly endless. You can add some instant coffee crystals or use brewed coffee instead of water to create a coffee flavor. Use any of the LorAnn Oils flavorings such as strawberry cheesecake. A little cinnamon and some of Lorann Oils butter flavoring make a wonderful cinnamon bun flavor.
For Banana Flavor:
The frozen dessert shown is my banana nut creation. At first, I used only banana extract, which tasted great. Then, I decided to boost the calories up just 5.5 per serving by adding 1/2 teaspoon walnut oil, creating a banana nut flavor. Olive Nation Banana Extract 4 Ounce bottle will cost you $12.36 on Amazon (which is what I used). Where, a 4-ounce bottle of LorAnn Oils Banana Emulsion will cost much less, just $5.80. However, that particular flavor contains both natural and artificial flavoring.

*Each flavor of Lorann Oils is different in potency. As an example, using 1-1/2 teaspoons of Lorann Oils Super Strength Peach Flavoring is perfect for 1/2 gallon of dessert. However, if you use too much, it will create a bitter flavor.
