My dad needs to cut out his favorite food in the world - ice cream. What's the very best frozen yogurt/sherbet/etc I can buy him instead?

My poor dad loves ice cream more than anything. He would eat it five times a day if we let him. HOWEVER, his recent blood tests came back showing he has high cholesterol. Not dangerously high but.... we need to deal with it. My mom is trying to adjust his diet (Less red meat, less fried stuff, etc) and one of the foods on the chopping block is ice cream. He is so sad :(

I know its not necessary to go cold turkey and everything in moderation etc but... for now while everyone's freaking out, my mom is saying NO ICE CREAM FOR A WHILE.

In preliminary research, I'm seeing that frozen yogurt/sherbet is much better for you, cholesterol wise (although you still need to be careful about sugar, additives, etc). Can anyone suggest a delicious ice cream alternitive that can be found in a typical grocery store? I'd really like to bring him a nice dessert this weekend. Unfortunately his favorite ice cream flavors are vanilla and chocolate but he does like a good strawberry. So that might work. I dont see him eating any kind of fancy exotic flavor.

I GUESS we could also try a non-cow dairy like almond, soy etc? But those usually taste bad to me. But I'll take those suggestions too.
