I just YOLO what sounds good, or use normal ice cream recipes if I want something rich.
Claire Saffitz has several regular ice cream recipes that are crème anglaise base on her YouTube and books. If you want to go to the trouble of a proper custard base. I've never gone wrong making one of her desserts, but they are absolutely not macro friendly.
My go to, but not as rich is very regularly having, chocolate fairlife (with yes it's worth the hassle of mixing in for the texture) the smallest amount of xanthan gum I can scoop with a spoon. One cup would be 140/13g/13g/4.5g kcal/p/c/f. But in practice I split one 52oz jug across four Creami containers, then split that with the wife, so the real macros are on average like 81% of that. Take out of freezer to soften the perimeter 10 minutes before shaving (I know the manual says not to do it, but it reduces the ice left on the edge). Light ice cream setting. Scrape sides. Light ice cream again for soft serve, or if powdery and wanting a firmer texture a splash of anything (reserve fairlife if the macros matter) and re-spin.
It's only 1.5 ingredients, so it's not really a proper recipe, but super super easy.
My "personal" recipe is Halo-halo inspired.
Base is 8-10oz of steamed peeled ube. No need for added gums with ube.
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Sweetener of choice. I use a squirt of monk-fruit and stevia, but yes sugar or evaporated milk would have a better texture and flavor.
Pinch of salt
Fill to pint line with coconut milk. (like the unsweetened silk brand that's 45 kcal/cup)
Hand blend everything before freezing. I did calculate the macros at one point, but at this point only remember, not a protein source, but not crazy on the calories for "ice cream." Obviously much more delicious but more on the calorie front if using evaporated milk and coconut cream rather than non-nutritive sweetener and "coconut milk."
