I have made my own ice cream several times and find it rather better than anything I could buy.
I have used a heavy iron griddle left in the freezer overnight, then placed on a towel and the ingredients for the icecream mixed in a metal bowl after cooling them and the bowl in the freezer for a while.
A custard of cream and eggs is the basis for the recipe, with mashed fruit, or rum and raisin, or walnut and (just a little) honey as flavouring. After years of low carb I need very little sweetener, if any, in desserts.

I have found that a small portion (1/5th of a tub) of Morrisons Best cafe latte ice cream, as part of a meal, doesn't spike me. Unusually it has fairly "clean " ingredients, cream, coffee, sugar no nasties other than the real sugar, no sweeteners. Think it's about 14g carb a portion
Also a mini "magnum " type icecream from Lidl, as part of a meal doesn't spike me. Again about 14g
BUT I do seem to slowly gaining weight
There are several low carb ice cream recipes around
