Chapman's Sugar Free Ice Cream
Has anyone tried Chapman's sugar free ice cream? I have heard about it, and it sounds quite good. It's sweetened with Splenda and is a full fat ice cream. I think there are 3 flavors - vanilla, chocolate, and butterscotch. They range in carbs from aroun 5-8 per 1/2 cup serving, depending on which flavor. I know that they carry them in Vancouver at the Urban Fare, but I was wondering if anyone had tried them. Before I spend my money, I want to know if it's worthwhile! I think these are made in Ontario, so maybe someone there has had it before.
Regards, Theresa :) |
I found the Vanilla here just recently (and it's new there I think) at the Real Canadian Superstore ... which would be a Loblaw's back East.
It's reasonably tasty and has nice texture; it's VERY white for a Vanilla and remarkably sweet, ends up tasting a lot like marshmallow creme instead of Vanilla, though. Caution: like almost ALL sugar-replacements, a sugar alcohol (maltitol) is the major ingredient. Hidden carbs and possible digestive distress as well as a halt to ketosis are all possibilities. Run through the "carbulator" (the Hidden Carb calculator from the Tools on the menu bar above). |
from the Chapman's website:
For the vanilla, if you choose to have ½ cup portion, the counts look like this: 128 cal, 2g prot, 6.7g fat, 14.6g carbs, 7.85g maltitol. :read2: Doreen |
I eat the Chapman's ice cream occasionally. Actually it's more like I go through stages where I have it every day, then not again for a long time. My favourite is the Cookies ' n' Cream, they are all pretty good though. It does have more sweeteners than just the Splenda. I seem to do ok with sugar alcohols, but not everybody does.
I think if I were you I would wait a while before getting in to stuff like this though. |

See the thread re: Chapman's Sugar Free Ice Cream...

I could of swore it was a different post.......oh well......but this ice cream has maltitol? That is not good... Thank you for posting the link Bonnie
Candice |
Candice I could be wrong but I have yet to see a commercially made no sugar added ice cream that does not contain a small amount of maltitol :) ..if you do a search for no sugar added ice cream ....the results will show you all the threads dealing with this subject :)
Bonnie |
okay....
So this seems like something I can have in moderation after I lose all the weight I have to lose. If I have it in the house I am bound to eat more than 94ml..less than 1/2 cup! Worth the look into. Thank you Again Candice |
I think the sugar free Mr. Freeze's are made with just Splenda, but I could be wrong!

Don't ya have the box from the ones you had last summer so we could find out :D ...I have no idea if they are made with just Splenda either but I would take your suggestion that they are since you have actually had them in hand and enjoyed them :D Bonnie |
