Allulose is hands down the best sweetener for sugar-free ice cream. It is not a sugar alcohol, but a rare sugar that is not metabolized, making it zero carb. It does not recrystallize, keeping the ice cream lovely and soft.

SUGAR SUBSTITUTES USED IN MAKING SUGAR-FREE ICE CREAM: The sweet taste in this ice cream comes from sugar alcohols.
