One of the best things about Weight Watchers is that no food is off limits! And that includes ice cream. If you chose wisely you can find a brand that suits your taste and your SmartPoint allowance. Just take a look at this list of Low Point Ice Creams to see what you fancy.
So, yes, even when following the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan you can have your ice cream and eat it.
With over 60 different Weight Watchers friendly ice creams (along with serving sizes and SmartPoint values) you are sure to find a Weight Watchers friendly ice cream for you.

Although there is a good selection of ice creams listed below, there are a couple of things that I want to point out before you go any further!
Not all Ice Cream is pointed equal
I haven't calculated the SmartPoints for all brand flavours as obviously that would have taken forever!
Just because Skinny Cow Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is 3 SmartPoints per serving doesn't mean that Skinny Cow Chocolate Cake Me Away will also be 3 SmartPoints per serving!
If the ice cream that you're about to tuck into isn't in the picture, please make sure that you work out SmartPoints yourself before you dig in!
Sugar & Sugar Alcohols
Some of these ice creams list both sugar and sugar alcohols in their nutritional information and some just list sugar. I have noted below each entry which ice creams include sugar alcohols.
At the time of writing this list, WW does not require you to add sugar alcohols in the calculator to work out SmartPoint values.
Therefore, the SmartPoint values have been worked out using the usual calories, protein, saturated fat and sugar counts.
Be aware though that there can be some, ahem, side effects of eating (too many) sugar alcohols! If you want more information on these health facts, take a look at the FDA's Sugar Alcohol Fact Sheet.
How I worked out the SmartPoints
All SmartPoints have been worked out using an official WW calculator and are correct at time of writing (2019).

Kenneth Botta says
how many WW points in Rebel ice cream
Kathy says
But how do they taste? In my experience, Halo (and I assume similar brands) are cloyingly sweet and have a weird mouthfeel. For me, the Breyer’s no added sugar/reduced fat provides almost the same soul satisfying feeling you get from premium ice cream without the nasty additive filled products and are well worth an extra point or two or three. Granted, I haven’t tried most of the products listed, but would try them if anyone can provide some comments on their taste. Thanks!
Marianne says
Thank you for your comments Kathy! I haven't tried many of them (purely because they are not available where I live). I've tried Halo Top, Skinny Cow and Ben & Jerry's! Of those Ben &Jerry's is by far my favourite...but of course it is higher in Smart Points than many of the others! I'll track down (& report back) the Coolway when I am in Canada next month!
YS says
I tried the Enlightened Caramel and Sea flavored Ice cream and it was “delicious!”.
Amy says
Be careful of the Halo top ice creams, they do a real number on my stomach and really nothing bothers me. It made for a very uncomfortable evening and night after indulging in a pint
Natalie says
Ice cream was always been my favorite all the time when I saw the smartphones on them they are amazing and delicious
Dc says
Be careful of Enlightened. They use erythritol and that does a number on my stomach! It’s totally delicious but not worth having gas every minute for 4 hours after I eat it!!
