Unfortunately no... 24g per 100g CHO.

Eat it and test to see if you can tolerate is the only answer.

Most ice creams contain a lot of sugar. But a small amount doesn't affect me. You should test to see how it affects you.
There is a low carb ice cream made with sweetener, called OPPO which is ok for diabetics. It's sold in Waitrose, Holland & Barrett. Co-Op and Budgens.

A small amount won't hurt - try it and see - frozen yoghurt maybe a better option

Try freezing some double cream if you want that cold experience.. maybe add some carb free sweetener if that's your thing.
I reckon about an hour in the freezer makes it frozen round the outside with a gooey centre.
