Can i make ice cream with artificial sweetener
I wonder if an artificial sweetener like sucralose or erythritol could be used to make a reasonably soft ice cream.
Best Answer
Weeeellll...remember, the sugar in ice cream helps it not form into a solid chunk of ice (as does the fat). Often reduced-sugar recipes call for alcohol, which can help do the same thing. You're really going to need something to keep all those ice crystals from forming.
If you want to play with artificial sweetener, I'd be tempted to suggest going more towards a frozen custard. My first trial for such things would be milk, a sweetener, and cornstarch. Once you have a custard that you're ok with, try running through your ice cream maker. I've tried something similar, but I didn't have an ice cream maker at the time. I ended up with something like a pudding pop. It was still yummy.

Which artificial sweetener is used in ice cream?
Sucrose (table sugar) has traditionally been the most frequently used sweetener in ice cream production, with a combination of sucrose (10-12%) and corn starch hydrolysate syrup (CSS) (3-5%) now being the most common choice of sweetener (Goff & Hartel, 2013).Can you substitute Splenda for sugar in ice cream?
Yes. Splenda Original Sweeteners work well in frozen desserts. However, the texture may not be as creamy as you may be used to. Splenda Sweeteners will freeze the same as sugar in an ice cream and works particularly well in fruit sorbet.Can sucralose be used for ice cream?
Sorbitol and sucralose effectively works as low-calorie sweeteners. Sucralose is effective sweetener as a substitute of sucrose. The calorific value of low fat sugar free ice cream was efficiently reduced to 116.74 kcal/100g due to addition of low calorie sugar substitutes and fat replacers.What sweetener is used in sugar free ice cream?
Although not entirely sugar-free, their products use a combination of organic cane sugar, sugar alcohols, and stevia.

Answer 2
Breyers, Ben & Jerry's, and various diet brands use Splenda or similar sucralose based artificial sweeteners in their ice cream. You can too!
Answer 3
Erythritol (or a comparable compound) is a sugar alcohol that will have some of the physical properties of an actual sugar, and will be a bulk ingredient. It will likely have a textural impact on an ice cream compared to there being no sugar at all, which might or might not be desirable.
Sucralose is a 600x strength artifical sweetener that you would, in its pure form, usually only add in far too small quantities to have any textural impact, so you would get the same result as making the ice cream with no sugar.
Answer 4
I have the same problem. Using sucralose instead of sugar makes it hard. Custard with lots of vanilla escence and xantham gum helps.
