Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • Optional add-ins: sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, berries (adjust according to your preference)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Sweeten and Flavor:
    • Add the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Mix gently until well combined.
  3. Incorporate Almond Milk:
    • Gradually pour in the unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk while continuing to mix. This helps to loosen the mixture and create a smoother texture.
  4. Add Optional Ingredients:
    • If desired, fold in any optional add-ins such as sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, or berries.
  5. Freeze:
    • Transfer the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill:
    • Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
  7. Serve:
    • Scoop the keto no churn ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy! Optionally, garnish with additional toppings like whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Tips:

  • For a firmer texture, allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
  • Experiment with different flavors by adding extracts like mint or almond, or by mixing in sugar-free syrups.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
