Taste Test Tuesday: Breyers Double Churn 100 Calorie Vanilla Fudge Swirl Cups
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

I'm a fan of the whole "double churn" technological advancement because it produces lower fat ice-cream that is wonderfully creamy in texture. Well, just in case you want your double churned ice cream pre-portioned, Breyers now makes 100 Calorie Vanilla Fudge Swirl Cups. It's a 1/2-cup serving of light cream.

Granted the photo on the box shows a whole bunch more "fudge swirls" than I actually had in my tester cup, but it still tasted pretty good and had a wonderful creamy texture. The fat grams are low, 1.5 grams per serving, but the sugar is par for the course with 14 grams of sugars which translates to 56% calories from sugar.

The first 5 ingredients:
  • Ice Cream: milk, skim milk, sugar, cream, sugar syrup
  • Fudge Swirl: sugar, water, corn syrup, chocolate liquor, cocoa
The nutrition information: 1 dessert cup (66 grams) - about 1/2 cup of ice cream
100 calories
3 g protein
20 g carbohydrate (14 g sugars)
1.5 g fat
1 g saturated fat
5 mg cholesterol
3 g fiber
55 mg sodium

Ice cream is a treat no matter how you slice it. I guess a 100 calories is better than 300
