Just 3 Ingredients

Homemade Keto Ice Cream Ingredients
  • Frozen Fruit: Listen up, folks! This is super important. You've got to get your hands on frozen fruit, or else this recipe won't work. Not even a little bit. It's a must-to-use frozen fruit that fits the keto bill for this magical instant ice cream.
  • Heavy Cream: Oh, and don't forget to grab some chilled heavy whipping cream. Don't use a cream that's at room temperature or warm because then your ice cream will turn out all watery and mushy. To achieve that perfect texture and creaminess, stick with heavy cream. Almond milk, coconut milk from a carton, or regular milk won't give you the same result. In a pinch, you can use half and half. And if you're avoiding dairy, full-fat coconut milk can do the trick.
  • Sugar-Free Sweetener: Now, let's talk sweeteners. Normally, I go for the granular kind, but in this recipe, stevia powder is the way to go. Just a tiny pinch will do. Using a granular sweetener, like most sugar alcohol sweeteners, could leave you with grainy ice cream. If you want to use a sugar alcohol sweetener, it's best to go for a powdered sweetener.
3 Ingredient Keto Ice Cream

How To Make Keto Ice Cream in 5 Minutes

To whip up this delectable, low carb ice cream, gather your frozen fruit of choice, cold heavy cream, and a dash of sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.

Step One: Pop your frozen fruit into a nifty little food processor and give it a whirl for a few seconds.

Step Two: Once your frozen fruit is nicely chopped up, drizzle that cold, creamy heavy cream all over it.

Step Three: Sprinkle in your chosen sweetener, whether it's stevia or monk fruit, and let the processor work its magic until your ice cream mixture becomes delightfully smooth.

If your ice cream mixture gets a bit stubborn and sticks together, simply break it up with a trusty fork and give it another go in the processor. You can also add a touch more heavy cream, but keep in mind that your ice cream will turn out softer rather than super solid.

Now, here's the scoop: As soon as your 3-ingredient keto ice cream is all done processing, it's best to serve it up right away. It has a tendency to melt quickly, especially on those scorching summer days.

Low Carb Ice Cream Variations

One Berry Ice Cream: If you happen to have a beloved berry variety, go ahead and use it exclusively for this delightful recipe. Personally, I adore strawberries, and when combined with cream, they create a truly marvelous flavor sensation.

Flavor Enhancers: To effortlessly tweak the taste, consider incorporating a touch of lemon extract, vanilla extract, or almond extract. These extracts work like magic, adding a whole new dimension to your creation.

Frequent Questions

Can I Freeze This Ice Cream For Later?

While you can freeze it, I wouldn't recommend it. This particular ice cream isn't ideal for long-term freezing as it becomes quite solid in the freezer. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can freeze it for 30-60 minutes to harden it slightly, but I wouldn't exceed that time.

Can I Turn This Into Ice Cream Bars?

Absolutely! After blending the mixture, simply scoop it into a popsicle mold and insert a stick. Pop it in the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes, and voila, you've got yourself some homemade ice cream bars!

What Flavors Can I Create?

The options are endless when it comes to fruit-based flavors! Think luscious blueberry, vibrant strawberry, tangy raspberry, and juicy blackberry. Feel free to enhance the taste with a hint of vanilla extract or lemon extract. As long as you have frozen fruit on hand, you can easily whip up this effortless keto ice cream.

Do I Need A Food Processor?

Yes, a food processor is essential for crushing the frozen fruit and blending it with the cream. Trying to do this by hand would be very difficult. I don't recommend using a blender because there won't be enough liquid to blend, and the frozen fruit may get stuck in the blades.

What Sweeteners Can I Use?

For the best results, I suggest using a powered sugar-free sweetener like stevia, monk fruit, or Erythritol. Avoid adding large amounts of low carb granulated sweeteners, as they can make the ice cream grainy and leave a cooling sensation. Instead, use a small quantity of stevia or monk fruit to achieve the desired sweetness without any lingering aftertaste. Moreover, you can skip the sweetener entirely if you find the fruit sweet enough.

Can I Make Dairy-Free Low Carb Ice Cream?

Absolutely! Simply swap out the heavy cream for coconut cream, and you're good to go with a delightful dairy-free keto treat. Just ensure that the coconut cream is chilled, and avoid using coconut milk, as it will result in a runny ice cream consistency.

Can I Add Toppings To This Ice Cream?

Absolutely! The more toppings, the merrier, right? Feel free to sprinkle in some sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruit, or coconut flakes directly into the blender mixture, or garnish your 3-ingredient keto ice cream bowl with them! You can even drizzle over some sugar-free chocolate, caramel, or strawberry syrup. For an extra touch, whip up some heavy cream with a dash of pure vanilla extract and dollop it on top.
