What does lecithin do in ice cream?

[rawererin]

Will it stop crystals from forming, or make it creamier?
How much do I use?
I could really use some help.

Yes! It is used to make it creamy.

As Walnutty said, it's an emulsifier and used to make ice cream and other products smooth and creamy. You can add some to your smoothies and nut milks too, bearing in mind that it's not raw.
