Best Answer

Sugar acts as an "antifreeze" in ice cream to suppress the growth of large ice crystals.

Without sugar the texture of ice cream would not be smooth and creamy, instead it would be "gritty" due to the large ice crystals. Ice cream without sugar can also become hard and unscoopable during extended storage in the freezer.

There are sugar free ice cream recipes that substitute other ingredients that have similar "antifreeze" properties to sugar but without the carbohydrates/calories, but these substitutes must be carefully selected to avoid altering the flavor too much.

Look for sugar free on the containers.

You don't need to add sugar to make ice cream or sherbet.
