The Food Channel, citing an International Ice Cream Association study, reports that butter pecan was third in a 2008 survey of most popular flavors, receiving 5.3 percent of the vote. Butter pecan, like other top ice-cream flavors, has low-fat, no-sugar-added varieties.
Breyer's Smooth & Dreamy
Breyer's advertises its low-fat, no-sugar-added version under the Smooth & Dreamy line. It uses Splenda, or sucralose, to sweeten the dessert. A one-half cup serving has 110 calories and 6 g of fat.
Blue Bunny
The Blue Bunny brand carries a no-sugar-added, reduced-fat version of butter pecan ice cream. A half-cup serving contains 130 calories, 60 of which come from fat.
Great Value
Walmart sells its private-label ice cream under the Great Value brand. Its low-fat, no-sugar-added butter pecan contains 90 calories per half-cup serving, with 20 calories coming from fat.
Baskin-Robbins Truly Free
While not an ice cream, Baskin-Robbins offers a butter pecan flavor in its frozen soft-serve yogurt line. Its Truly Free nonfat, no-sugar-added butter pecan yogurt has 90 calories per serving, according to CalorieLab.
