There are certainly some obvious things you can do without too much
fiddling.  

1)  Use less sugar.
or
2)  Use an artificial sweetener instead.

also

3)  Make sure you use full-fat yoghurt, and make it yourself to control
it better.

That's just for starters.

There was a thread a while back about carbs and yogurt and that it has
significantly fewer carbs than what the label says.  Here is a link that
explains things:  http://tinyurl.com/2fknk

You will also drastically cut down on carbs in your recipe by simply
replacing the sugar with a non-sugar sweetener.

I also have a cuisinart ice cream maker.  here is my recipe for low carb
vanilla bean ice cream.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

4 cups heavy cream

1/2 vanilla bean (approx. 4 inches long)

1 tsp vanilla extract

6 egg yolks

3/4 to 1 cup of Splenda (or 18 to 24 packets)

Put the cream in a medium saucepan. Use a sharp knife to split the vanilla
bean in half lengthwise. Use the edge of the knife to scrape out the
"seeds".  Stir the seeds and bean pod into the cream. Bring the mixture to a
slow boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30
minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine the egg yolks and Splenda in a
medium bowl.  Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat until the mixture is
thick, smooth, and pale yellow in color, about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove
the vanilla bean pod from the cream mixture.

Pour out 1 cup of the hot liquid. With the mixer on low speed, add the cup
of hot cream to the egg mixture in a slow steady stream. When thoroughly
combined, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and stir to combine.
Cook, stirring constantly, over medium low heat until the mixture is thick
enough to coat the back of a spoon. Strain through a wire sieve to remove
any egg bits. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap placed
directly on the custard, and chill completely.

Turn the machine ON first, pour the chilled custard into the freezer bowl
and let mix until thickened, about 25 - 30 minutes.

Substituing Spenda for the sugar will cut the carb count way down.
Strawberries are the lowest in carbs of any fruit I know.
