Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about what goes into our famous soft serve? We believe in keeping things transparent so you can enjoy your treat with total peace of mind. Here are the answers to our most-asked questions!

Is D'Lites real ice cream or is it frozen yogurt?

It is real ice cream! Our proprietary soft serve is made with skim milk, giving it that rich, velvety, old-fashioned ice cream texture. Because it contains no live yogurt cultures, it is not frozen yogurt. It’s simply delicious ice cream crafted with a healthy twist!

Is your soft serve Keto-friendly?

Yes, absolutely! D'Lites is a massive favorite in the Keto and low-carb community. Our base flavors are incredibly low in carbohydrates:

• Chocolate Base: Only 2g of carbs per serving!

• Vanilla Base: Only 3g of carbs per serving.

Since all our 100+ rotating flavors are created by adding highly concentrated, sugar-free extracts to these two clean bases, the carb count remains amazingly low across the board!

Does D'Lites contain sugar?

We do not use any artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols! The small amount of sugar in our soft serve comes naturally from the lactose in the skim milk, plus a tiny touch of corn syrup (never high-fructose corn syrup) to keep it smooth. A standard 4 oz. serving contains only 2g of sugar for chocolate-based flavors and 3g for vanilla-based flavors.

Is it safe for diabetics?

While everyone’s body reacts differently, D'Lites has been a trusted, go-to treat for individuals managing diabetes for over 40 years. Because our soft serve is exceptionally low-glycemic, low-sugar, and low-carb, it generally does not cause the rapid blood sugar spikes associated with traditional ice cream.

As always, we recommend checking our nutrition facts or consulting your doctor if you have specific medical dietary requirements.

Do you have gluten-free options?

Yes, our signature vanilla and chocolate liquid bases are entirely gluten-free!

The vast majority of our weekly rotating flavors are also gluten-free. When you visit the shop, just let our team know if you have an allergy or sensitivity. We can easily guide you toward gluten-free flavors and help you choose safe, delicious toppings (like fresh nuts or fruit) while avoiding toppings like cookie crumbles or pretzels.

How many calories are in a serving?

A standard serving of our vanilla or chocolate soft serve is only 50 calories! It is also cholesterol-free and extremely low in fat (just 1.5g to 2.5g), making it a perfect fit for weight loss plans, Weight Watchers, or general heart-healthy lifestyles.
