I’m afraid my answer would be none. I’ve Found Greek Yoghurt with pomegranate seeds to be yummy if that helps. I’m sure some will enjoy ice cream with sugar alternatives but I find the best way to avoid the temptation of sugar is to re-educate my palette. I know love tastes other than sugar much more - it drowns everything else out.

I compromise by enjoying a tiny bit of Carte d'Or vanilla, amounting to approx half a flat scoop but using a small spoon rather than a scoop if you see what I mean. I savour every millilitre of it!

unless you make it yourself then it isn't the sort of thing to indulge it - anything in the shops, even the lowest carb ones, are just so high in carbs, usually sugar, and having got used to low carb, they really do not taste nice.
I have an ice cream maker and create egg and cream custard to pour into it - then you can add in anything you like in the way of flavourings, or scoop it out and add in whatever takes your fancy. A splash of alcohol, a swirl of fruit puree, or the flavours used in cooking - even a tiny amount of honey (I coat chopped walnuts in a teaspoonful) but you need to be careful as it is all too easy to decide to have a taste and end up licking out the bowl.

I think your BG meter would be a good bet.
We had a thread recently where people shared rheir food nemesis and happy discoveries, and several people said that ice cream wasnt too bad for them - but as always, Your Diabetes May Vary, and you really need to check for yourself, because your gut biome and metabolism may handle things very differently from someone else 🙂

It depends entirely on your own personal reaction to it.
All of us are different, as are ice creams!
Do you have a meter, and do you test?
