Low/no sugar ice cream?

[Quattro Pete]

Are any of them any good or am I asking for major disappointment from a taste perspective? Any specific brand recommendations worth trying?

I eat Rebel ice cream since I do keto. The "strange" thing I do with the ice cream when I am ready to eat it is I remove the lid off it, remove the seal on it, put the lid back on it and stick it in the microwave for 36 to 37 seconds (odd, I know). The ice cream is still cold and solid, but is no longer a brick. The package says to let it sit for 15 minutes, but I don't have that kind of patience. The taste is good depending on the flavor.

There are a variety of keto ice creams that do not have artificial sweeteners.

Butter pecan seems to be the best

You mean really low/no sugar, or something with a different/artificial sweetener?

Id be interested in less swet ice cream, but no fake stuff.

Ive had some ice cream type desert that was home made at an Indian restaurant, super good tasting, and not as sweet as domestic store bought...

We make ours with a table top maker. That way we control the suger. 2 cups cream, skim milk to fill the rest, 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla extract. Makes 2 quarts. I've used as little as 1/4 sugar cup but it does not freeze as well.

Sometimes i throw in mash up cherries, or bananas.

I keep the tub in the freezer , set to -8

Dont want artificial stuff like stevia/splenda.

We eat a lot of Indian food. I have yet to come across any Indian dessert that is not super sweet.

It was homemade at a mom and pop restaurant. I guess it was their taste. Generally I agree.

Most such ice creams still have carbs which turns into sugar.

Stevia is prolly the best sugar substitute as is monk fruit used in some lo carb IPA's

Their chocolate is really good!

Many low/no sugar ice creams are sweetened with sugar alcohols such as erythritol. Because these do not cause blood sugar spikes, some diets do not count them as carbs. I've had some of these ice creams and they tasted good, but beware of how much you eat in a sitting. Sugar alcohols cause terrible gas, and one night after eating three bowls I was up for hours with very painful gas.

GI upset is a big issue with these sugar alcohols. Also, they can cause blood glucose spikes. As a type 2 diabetic I stay away from them.

Monk fruit sweetener is a good choice for diabetics. The best way to enjoy ice cream is to make it yourself in a machine using monk fruit sweetener.

Frozen Kind bars are excellent. They use their own version of healthy ice cream in them along with dark chocolate, nuts. Some with peanut butter.

I tried some sugar free ice cream from a local ice cream chain and it was horrible. Find out,later they don’t even make it in house. Even the color was off. Vanilla flavor that had a yellow hue to it.
