If you can use eggs, you might try a cooked custard type ice cream
recipe.  You should be able to use the thinner milks for that as the eggs
give a lot of the body.  I have not tried any since we can't do eggs.  I
generally stuck to the cooked types of bases before since I could cut
back on the cream and reduce the fat without getting it too icy.

Now I usually stick to the sorbet or granita recipes and churn them in my
ice cream maker.  I've made a lot of good flavors like watermelon and
strawberry, but also some more gormet flavors like cantelope and pink
grapefruit.  I even made a white peach when my neighbor gave me a bunch
of drops from her tree last summer.
