There’s a make called Oppo which does various flavours, chocolate and hazle nut is my favourite. Then there’s Carb Killa choc ices. Both are available in Tesco.

No chocolate Oppo at the mo!

Warning: the Grenade carb killa icecreams contain polyols. .
Both types may contain no added sugar, but watch out for the carbs - they aren't what I would call low carb (but may be acceptable in small quantities).

I buy Oppo too, or sometimes make ice cream lollies (it is possible to make softer ice cream without a machine but it is a lot of work). I use a pot of double cream, cocoa and erythritol sweetener as a quick cheat. Dissolve the cocoa and sweetener in a little warm cream, let it cool then whip the rest of the cream and fold in the cocoa mix. Separate into portions and freeze. I've also used strawberries mixed with sweetener and cream, covered with a little melted 85% chocolate.

The Carb Killa products do indeed contain polyols and as with any new food I would advocate testing to anyone trying them. I’m one of the lucky one who does not get a spike in my sugars from polyols, so I can work on the basis of ‘net carbs’ i.e. Total carbs minus the carbs from polyols.
