I tried four recipes before I settled on this Keto Ice Cream. The others weren't inedible by any means as the empty containers can attest to, but none were this creamy, this smooth, and this delicious. This is going to be the best, easiest keto ice cream recipe you've ever made.
What Makes This The BEST Keto Ice Cream?
- Low Carb.
- Fast.
- Easy.
- No Cook.
I just got a new ice cream maker last week, and I've been playing with it. I was determined to find a recipe that didn't require making a custard because I know myself.
I won't do it and then it will be time to make ice cream and I'll be about half a day away from having it. So I had to find something that worked without a custard.
The low carb Ice Cream recipe I settled on is borrowed heavily from the Serious Eats Ice Cream recipe with only one minor tweak, which was my addition of xanthum gum, and a sugar-free sweetener.
Not only was this tasty, but I got two different textures from one recipe. When freshly made, the Low Carb Ice Cream is like a soft serve, and very creamy. Once it's cured for a bit, it's a lot more like regular ice-cream. Two different tastes from the same recipe make it fun.
Is Keto Ice Cream Good?
Heck yeah, it is. Of course, I'm a little biased since this is my recipe. But I have trouble keeping it in my freezer without even my non-Keto friends stealing a bite.
Keto Ice Cream Without Eggs
A lot of ice cream recipes use eggs as an ingredient. Since I'm all about #ruthlessefficiency I wanted a recipe that omitted the cooking step. Plus, the faster it's ready to eat, the better. Am I right? For that reason, I decided that a Keto ice cream recipe without eggs was the one for me.

Will Keto Ice Cream Kick You Out Of Ketosis?
When indulging in low carb ice cream, you need to be cautious of your portion size.
As with any other food when eating a keto lifestyle, you need to enjoy it in moderation. If you track your macros to keep them within a healthy limit you can easily enjoy this Keto Icecream without being kicked out of ketosis.

I've tried several recipes that don't require making the pudding and this is the best. I've made it with whole milk and also with unsweetened almond milk. Both good. This recipe makes 4 cups of mix. I use a cup at a time in my little Dash My Pint and keep the remaining mixture in the fridge for the next day. I add 2 T of instant decaf coffee (dissolved in a little hot water and cooled. then use that as part of the 1 cup of milk) When it finishes churning, I add some sugar free chocolate chips for Jamoca chip ice cream.

This is the best recipe for Keto ice cream I have found that doesn't use eggs. I tried another recipe but it called for erythritol. Do not use erythritol as it hardens the ice cream to rock and impossible to eat. For this recipe I added fresh raspberries to the ice cream maker and when I poured into container I swirled sugar free vanilla syrup through before putting lid on and freezing. Yummy, it's brilliant, thank you!

I want to make fresh strawberry ice cream. Would the proportions of the rest of the recipe change if I added 1 cup of diced strawberries?

Everything else should stay the same. Adding the berries will increase the amount of moisture in your ice cream so don't be alarmed if it is a little thinner than it would be without the berries.
DEBORAH
EXCELLENT--really creamy. I left out the powdered milk---but I did add 1/2 tsp or so of food grade vegetable glycerin. Between that & the xanthan gum, it froze creamy & no icey or chalky consistency. I say this is a WINNER!! 10 stars.
Sophia
For the sweetener it says 1/3 cup but 0.33 grams. What do I use? 1/3 cup seems like a LOT of stevia ( the brand you showed is stevia ) but it can’t possibly be 0.33 gr.
Thanks

Does this recipe work in the Dash My Pint Electric Ice Cream Maker?
Susan Kincer
Great Ice Cream!
Lulu
Milk has sugar in it and isn’t keto though?

There’s really no such thing as a good that is keto or not keto. It comes down to daily macros and even at that, there is a wide variation of carb ranges that people can maintain for ketosis.

How is this ice cream maker holding up three years later? Still your favorite? I am researching them and value your opinion.
URVASHI PITRE
It is holding up great. I find that I'm making more popsicles rather than ice cream, but when I've used it, it continues to perform.
Betsy Andrus
Thanks for the reply! The reviews are all over the place, as usual.
