Does soy ice cream make you gain weight?
No single food can accurately be described as “non-fattening”: ingredients, portion size and overall energy balance matter. Calories vary with the soy milk and plant-based cream used, so they must be calculated from the actual products. The WHO stresses balance and moderation and does not recommend non-sugar sweeteners, including stevia, as an automatic weight-control strategy. For diabetes, allergies or other clinical needs, check labels and follow advice from a qualified health professional.
The WHO recommendation on non-sugar sweeteners for weight control is conditional and excludes people with pre-existing diabetes.

Blend the ingredients, pour the mixture into a container and put it in the freezer. Stir every 15 minutes, as the recipe specifies, until it reaches the desired consistency. The total freezing time is not specified; it is not the half-hour churning time given above.

It contains no dairy milk, but it does contain plant-based cream and 150 g cane sugar. It is therefore neither cream-free nor sugar-free. For a vegan version, choose a cream made entirely from plant ingredients. If you have an allergy, check the ingredients and label information.
