Looks good. Bought the stuff to make it sometime. I looked for Swerve at the store I was at and they don’t carry it. I did find a store brand erythrithol and stevia extract (rebiana?) blend that I hope will be okay. I haven’t really been using sweeteners.
Keto ice cream
I’ve been making a delish raspberry cheesecake ice cream:
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 oz unsweetened frozen raspberries - thawed
2 tablespoons erythritol
8 or 10 drops stevia
2 teaspoons vanilla
Blend well - I use a little hand whisk. Pour into ice cream maker and freeze. This freezes quite fast since it has so much cream in it.
Makes 6 servings - very rich servings
Couldn’t agree more - I’ve made the Keto Choco Mason Jar Ice Cream about 4 times; the first time it was surprising how the taste and texture was so like real chocolate ice cream (no too icy, like sherbet). Of course, now when I make it I can’t even get it into the freezer - as my husband likes eating it as his “mousse”…
So Delicious No Sugar Added Coconut Milk Ice Cream. I think it’s 4 grams of carbs for a 1/2 cup. I’ve tried vanilla and chocolate flavor. Good for when you don’t feel like making any.
I made this on Wednesday night and it took all of 5 minutes. So easy! I’m gonna make more and experiment with different flavors.
I think it does, however I use Erythritol which has carbs. I don’t know if swerve is an option or not??? Not using stevia, it has a gross taste to me.
I really love this, only made it once so far for my keto boy’s birthday earlier this month but it’s awesome and very simple. We flavored it with some puréed blueberries. It’s super easy and fun to make, and much cheaper than store bought ice cream and truly keto friendly.
I love Rebel as well. Only one place in town has it, so I picked up a few when I discovered it.
I don’t eat much at any given time and it is not a daily thing.
I tend to think it is filling. What freaks me out is when I log it in CarbManager. Very few net carbs, but the actual carbs always throws off my carb limit. Not sure if I should be concerned about that or not? I feel like I might be lying to myself somehow by only looking at net for it??
But yes, darn good once it is not rock hard from the freezer! Ha!~
Ooohhh…will have to try this. Don’t think I have the raspberries, but have a few other berries that may do the trick…blackberries for sure. And I like tart - wonder if cranberries will work? (with extra erythritol, likely…)
Agree!! Mint Chip is very good. They sell it at my local Jewel - but the selection is limited as they have 14 flavors on their website. It’s a nice treat
Can we talk ice cream makers?
I’ve been getting the Rebel, but I’m kind of gagging on $6 for a pint. I like their cherry chip except for the chocolate chip part. Seriously, I’d probably do better with plain vanilla, although @Ralene’s raspberry cheesecake sounds good!
So I’m thinking of trying some of the recipes that I see around here.
What’s a good ice cream maker? My perspective is I had one that was fully manual. You layered ice and salt in it and turned a crank by hand. That was 30 or 40 years ago and I have no idea what modern makers are like.
@mtncntrykid I know this is a vintage old post, but … WOW! What a great recipe. Many thanks for sharing.
We wound up with a few extra heavy cream cups in the fridge, so I was searching for a way to use them up quickly. Awesome recipe. Thanks again!
We like two store bought ice creams.
Rebel. It comes in medium-small round containers and is very tasty.
Breyers No Sugar Added.
Breyers Carb Smart. They use sorbitol which is a sugar alcohol - so the actual net carbs is a bit difficult to calculate.
Why have ice cream at all? Aren’t we trying to be healthier? KETO ice cream IMO is like having a veggie burger. For me, it still is ice cream. You still can over eat it or spike your insulin.
That’s true. I guess for me KETO junk food just makes me want real junk food.
