I only eat Haagan Dazs for this reason. People should look at ingredient labels more! The other day DH brought home cottage cheese. I opened it up and thought it looked even grosser than cottage cheese normally does. I checked the back. Sure enough, it had a list of about 10-12 ingredients.

Haagen Dazs is the only brand we buy now. We stock up when it goes on sale.

It is not free of gums, but my favorite store bought vanilla ice cream is Ben & Jerry's.

I knew about this in nut/oat milks but never thought about it for ice cream. Why do they put so much crap in them?!

If you live near a Sprouts Market, this stuff is awesome, sweetened only with honey or maple syrup.

Not the "creamiest" but only 5 ingredients, no gum additives, and has a decent flavor. At about $4/~quart it's not a bad deal.


+1 I was coming to say this. It tastes really good too.

NP - For folks without an ice cream maker, can use 2 cups whipped heavy cream + 1 jar/14 oz + flavors. We made this with oreo and turned out surprisingly well. (But 1 full jar of condensed milk + cookies made it too sweet for me. Next time, I'd use less of the milk).

H-D vanilla bean is the gold standard for a reason.

Turkey Hill All Natural

They have about five quality flavors.

All their other stuff is the same garbage as most of the supermarket ice creams.

Also - If you have the time, Cuisinart makes a great ice cream maker (sold by Williams Sonoma) with really good recipes included. It's a fun summertime activity for kids and they can make their own crazy flavors. My nephew likes to put blue food dye and chocolate chips in his batch. He calls it blue monster nice cream.
Blue food dye! These people don’t want the gum additives.


Yes, they would completely bug out at food dye in homemade ice cream.
Can I suggest cabbage to get the natural blue color you are looking for? /s

Uh. Well. Hate to break it to you but both occur in food.


Ummmmm yes, very good. Now how much do you want to tolerate in your food? That was the point of the post.


No, someone was looking for all natural ice cream. Whatever that means.


I think the OP just didn't want like gum addition ves in ice cream because they change the mouth feel in a way she finds unappetizing, and figures ice creams that advertise as "all natural" are less likely to have them. Not that OP is obsessed with all natural ice cream.

I've personally found that I can enjoy ice cream with stabilizing gum depending on the recipe. I think Tillamook does a good job with this-- I don't notice the gum texture in most of their flavors except the vanilla. I think vanilla is the hardest flavor to conceal it in. For that I used to like Breyers but now struggle to find a good grocery store vanilla.


+1
I actually like the mouth feel of Tillamook way better than HD. And I'm happy to tolerate whatever they're putting in their because ice cream is a rare treat.
