Description
What is NAS? It means "No Added Sugar", which means that we've come up with a vegan chocolate ice cream that we love and that has no added sugar! This doesn't mean this ice cream is "sugar-free" - there are still naturally occuring sugars in the coconut cream and coconut milk we use, but it does mean that the sugar content of this ice cream is greatly reduced because instead of sweetening with sugar, we are using a combination of two natural sweeteners -
monk fruit sugar,
erythritol,
polydextrose (a fibre) and
tapioca maltodextrin (a food starch). As a result, this lovely chocolate ice cream has a sugar count of 15g per 3/4 cup serving. Why are there still 5g of sugar if there is "no added sugar"? That's because of the naturally occuring sugars in the other ingredients!
