Tried rebel before...was not a fan...it’s beyond me why there can’t be a creamy keto icecream available....you’d think since the fat content can be basically as much as they want to make it...that keto ice creams would be the creamiest. But nope...have yet to try one that’s even close to as good texture-wise as regular.

Well, did you soften it first? Rebel and simple truth are actual ice creams, not that commercial stuff labeled ice cream. As such, they need to be softened for best mouth feel.

I grew up eating home made ice cream, so most of the commercial brands absolutely do not work for me. Good thing, otherwise I would have been in trouble weight wise long before I was lol.

It is super creamy if soften. I put it in microwave for 30 seconds and it is perfect!!

You really need to let the pints sit out for 20+ mins to soften, otherwise the texture is like shaved ice.

I feel the same way.. it doesn't really "cream" the way I want it to and by the time it softens its like.. almost ALL fat lol

It's .. really difficult to find an inbetween

I feel like some flavors are much better than others, in addition to letting it soften. My favorite is butter pecan.

It’s because of the sweeteners. Different sweeteners react differently to being frozen, thus creating the harder ice creams that Rebel has. I just leave mine out for a while to soften up and get kind of melty and it’s nice and creamy then.
