Creme Brulee Chocolate Chip "Ice Cream"

{I apologize for the less than stellar photo. The lighting was bad and this version actually looks way better than the original.}

Awhile ago, I posted about using Weight Watchers smoothie mix to make a crepe/pancake. Well, today I discovered another use for the mix other than well...you know...smoothies. I did, in fact, make a smoothie with the mix, but I only drank half. I poured the rest into a freezer safe container and put it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes or so, I used a fork to scrape/stir the mix. This made it somewhat fluffy as it was freezing. Because I used the creme brulee flavor which is white-ish, it looked like mashed potatoes at one point during the freezing process. Mid-way through the freezing process, I added about 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips. After a few hours, I scooped the mixture into a bowl and ate it like ice cream. It was much more crumbly than ice cream, but was a great treat that I'm sure would have worked well with any of the smoothie flavors. How many more uses can I come up with for smoothie mix? Do these recipes work with non-Weight Watchers smoothie mixes? Give it a try and post your results in the comments below!

4. Pour the rest of the smoothie into a freezer safe container. Put in freezer. Every 15-30 minutes, remove from freezer and scrape/stir with a fork. Add chocolate chips after mostly frozen.
