Keto Pie Crust (for crushing)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Compote:
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and 1 tablespoon of powdered erythritol over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the blueberries soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Mash some of the berries with a fork to break them down. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Make the Ice Cream Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, almond milk, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup powdered erythritol. Whisk until the erythritol is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. This step ensures a smoother texture when churning.
- Prepare the Keto Pie Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press it down evenly to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, break the crust into small pieces or crush into crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Assemble and Churn the Ice Cream:
- Pour the chilled ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Add Blueberry Compote and Pie Crust:
- In the last few minutes of churning, add the cooled blueberry compote and crushed Keto pie crust to the ice cream maker. Let it mix until well incorporated.
- Transfer and Freeze:
- Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly. Optionally, swirl in extra fresh blueberries if desired.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Scoop the Keto Blueberry Pie Ice Cream into bowls or cones. Garnish with additional whipped cream and fresh blueberries if desired. Enjoy the creamy, fruity flavors of this delicious Keto
