Keto-Friendly Strawberry Ice Cream

Enjoy a delicious frozen treat while staying within your ketogenic diet with this refreshing Strawberry Ice Cream. Made with simple ingredients and zero added sugars, it’s a guilt-free dessert option perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries (unsweetened)
  • 1 ripe banana, frozen (optional for natural sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Sweetener of your choice (if desired, consider erythritol or monk fruit for keto)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Fruit:
    • Slice the ripe banana into small pieces and freeze overnight along with the strawberries. This ensures a creamier texture.
  2. Blend the Ingredients:
    • In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, fat-free Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract (if using).
    • Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even mixing.
  3. Taste and Sweeten (If Desired):
    • Taste the mixture and add sweetener if desired. Use keto-friendly sweeteners sparingly to maintain a low-carb count.
  4. Serve or Freeze:
    • Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency.
    • For a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to a container with a lid and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.
  5. Enjoy:
    • Scoop out your keto-friendly strawberry ice cream and savor it as a guilt-free treat!
