I swear, they must put crack in this stuff or something.

Edy's Grand Triple Chocolate no-sugar-added ice cream.

It should be a controlled substance!

May you always enjoy life's simple pleasures. However, not too much and not too often... you know, so that you can appreciate the scope of the joy.

Just so that it's good just to be alive becomes a universal truth to you...

Is this sugar free Ice Cream the kind that you must set out on the counter for an hour or two before you can scoop it? or is it like real Ice Cream that you can scoop right out of the freezer?

I miss Ice Cream.

No, it only needs about 10/15 minutes.

You should also check your local supermarket carefully for LOW CARB ice cream. Two of my three local markets carry it (in two different brands). Both brands have only 3 net grams of carbohydrate per half-cup serving. They're loaded with calories, however, because they substitute butterfat for lactose. Both brands scoop just like the full-sugar variety and taste just as good. Both markets keep them very well hidden, however. One at the very top and end of the ice cream section; the other at the very bottom and end.

I have been eating the Klondike no sugar added, it has some carbs and some sugar, tastes great.

Any product using milk will always have the milk sugars regardless of fat levels. The darkest chocolates have little or no sugar. Sadly with any milk based problems it can never be sugar free. No sugar added is the best we diabetics can hope for in our ice cream. I scream, you scream, we all scream no sugar added.

Edy's = Dryer's

Correct ?

FYI

Total Carbs.

minus Sugar Alcohols

minus sugar

minus fiber

the remaining total carbs are metabolically active, carbs. Starches.

They are sneaky and don't list those.

Klondike No Sugar Added are so satisfying that I cut them in half and

usually to not desire the second half.

Carb restricted and plateaued

I'm a 4th generation (and now former) Oaklander, where Edy's Character Candies on Lakeshore Ave was the prestige place in the 1930s through at least the1960s to take a date to after the movies for a sundae in an elegantly appointed salon of a restaurant. Before 1948, Mr. Edy was partners with ice cream maker Mr. Dreyer; their ice cream plant was first located on nearby Grand Ave., the other commercial street in Oakland's Grand Lake District and the source of the "Grand" appellation still used for their Ice Cream products. Dreyer later set up a new plant on College Ave in North Oakland and has since expanded nationally and become a subsidiary of Nestle. According to Wiki, the Edy's name is used by Dreyer's for products sold east of the Rockies to avoid confusion with the Breyer's brand of ice cream.

Nice to discover something so highly and widely regarded to connect with Oakland and reminisce on. And now I've posted something in this annual renewal of registration. Thanks.

I understand the value these products have for diabetics, and I am no food faddist or organic fanatic, but compare the ingredients in Haagen Daz real ice cream and this Edy's product.

cream, skim milk, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract
