Let me start by saying that I have railed against the food & medical industries for 40 years. I stand by saying that "Truth in advertising" is a myth. Maybe I'm a bit of a zealot. LOL
Anyway, my husband has been craving ice cream and so I checked out the *new* halo top keto ingredients. Ok, so it's low carb, when did wheat and sugar become keto?
Maybe I'm too vigilant, but being diabetic and celiac, makes it pretty darn important to me. Watching carbs means nothing without watching ingredients.
Guess I better buy an ice cream maker. LOL

I'm by no means dogmatic clean keto, but YIKES, this goes way past dirty keto.

IKR? I don't mind a little dirt in my keto, but I draw the line at sugar and gluten. Non-negotiable.

Great information, I've been tempted to try it but never really brought myself to buy any or actually look into it. Thanks to this post I won't make the mistake of buying it blindly.
I have heard on some channels that it is supposed to be among the best ice creams. Some sectors of our community eat more processed keto food than others so I guess it is relative.
It is possible to make your own. I have an ice cream maker and make it that way, but you don't really need it. You can do ice cream in mason jar and shake it. You could search YT for no churn keto ice cream.
If you go that route, I recommend using Allulous for the sweetener. Many sweeteners freeze to a petrified rock.
We had Halo Top often before I started keto and we like it a lot.
Funny thing though, we have been "purging" our home and the ice cream maker that was re-gifted to us from my dad several years ago, we had given it to him for christmas a few years before that, sat untouched, until we finally donated it. 2 weeks ago. LOL

I have done that so many times .... donated something and then found a use for it and wanted it back.
But you could try an easy home made ice cream without an ice cream maker. Here is one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2zHby52QTA
It is just a few ingredients: cream, allulous, vanilla, salt ... then you can add a flavor like he is using instant coffee.
You have to shake for 2-3 minutes. I assume you could whisk it until it doubles in size too. then freeze and you are eating ice cream. It is going to be much better than what you can buy at the store.
@oevans I’ve made his ice cream before and it is really good. Allulose is definitely the way to go to keep it from freezing solid.
Cooker of Good Food and Stuff
@oevans I'm just going to come out and say I'm not a super big fan of Joe Duff. Actually, it's really more that I'm not into anyone who cooks in a tank top. I suspect that a fair amount of body hair shows up in his recipes. His videos are tight, though.

@calgaryguy I can't watch him, had to unsub.

The tank tops seems borderline annoying to me ... as does the bland phrases he repeats a lot ... but he does have some recipes I want to try. Nothing particularly revolutionary, but he does seem to put his own twist on his recipes.
Rebel Salted Caramel and Triple Chocolate are my go-to ice creams. Problem is...I eat the whole pint☹️
