Summary

Van Leeuwen Honeycomb French Ice Cream scores 75/100. Nine recognizable ingredients — cream, milk, cane sugar, egg yolks, tapioca syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, sea salt, and baking soda. No gums, no emulsifiers, no seed oils, no artificial flavors, no natural flavors — uses real vanilla extract. A proper French custard base with egg yolks. However, uses refined cane sugar as the primary sweetener plus tapioca syrup as a secondary sweetener, and 23g added sugars per serving (46% DV) is very high. Cleaner than mass-market ice cream but not in the same tier as honey-sweetened alternatives.
