Hi, Im planning to make home made sugarless ice cream for DS - turning 1 year old within a week. I wonder if anyone have the recipe. And I wonder if it is ok to give him food with heavy cream inside ? So far he doesnt have any allergic.

Do you have an ice cream maker of some kind? Definitely need one to make ice cream! Even so it will come out soft-serve unless you have an electric one. (We only have a hand-cranked kind.)
Almost every sugar-free recipe I'm finding when I do a web search uses artificial sweeteners which I'd avoid more than sugar for a once-and-done recipe. I'm finding a number which use Equal (aspartame), which is a neurotoxin, and/or packs of sugar-free instant pudding, which will be sweetened with either Equal or Splenda, which is sugar bonded with a chlorine molecule. :(
Here's one which uses grape juice cooked down into syrup, which will have natural fructose from the juice as the sugar: http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1713,135184-250197,00.html
Honestly, if you're just serving it this one time for a special occasion, I would seek out organic ice cream or something natural like Breyer's which uses so few ingredients. I have also seen "ice cream" made with coconut milk which is kinda yummy! :)
You could also serve yogurt sweetened with any number of sweeteners, including agave, maple syrup, xylitol, or sugar (maybe honey), or alternately use a little bit of stevia to sweeten the yogurt (we have a liquid extract and a couple drops is enough to sweeten a whole bowl of yogurt!).

You can make a "bowl" of ice cream by putting cream in a ziplock and putting ice and rock salt in a larger bag and shaking them for a while. You could just put what ever sweetner you wanted, maybe puree fruit. It works OK but if you're in a pinch.... :)
