Creamy chocolate ice cream without sugar
Chocolate ice cream without sugar is the perfect choice for those who want to give up their Carbohydrate intake but still do not want to give up the pleasure of ice cream. You will not notice any difference in this recipe to conventional chocolate ice cream notice.
So this is my first attempt with a pure low carb ice cream. Instead of sugar, the sweeteners used are Erythritol (erythritol for short) and xylitol used. These sweeteners have a lower glycemic index than sugar, which means that they reduce the Blood sugar level not influence so strongly. Therefore, they are also a good choice for People with diabetes or insulin resistance.
Another advantage for our ice cream is that both sugar alcohols have a higher freeze inhibition than normal sugar. This makes the ice cream nice and creamy and remains soft even after a long time in the freezer.
The chocolate aroma is created, as already with my classic chocolate ice cream, through the use of 100% pure cocoa powder. This guarantees you the ultimate chocolate taste.
