Keto ice cream is a creamy mix of sweet vanilla seeds and velvet smooth cream. Perfect for the ketogenic diet as an after dinner treat, or simply an anytime snack. Its the easiest low carb ice cream I’ve ever made, and there is literally no way you can mess this one up.
This keto ice cream is very smooth and fluffy. I’ve just added walnuts to garnish the photo, but since its vanilla ice-cream you can add almost anything, and it’s going to taste delicious.
I’ve made this keto ice cream before for Tasteaholics when I did a guest post on low carb affogato. Its a seriously good ice cream plus my photography skills have become a little bit better. So Win Win!
This recipe utilizes raw eggs. Growing up I would always put raw eggs into smoothies. I’ve never ever had a problem with raw eggs in my entire life, but proceed with caution if you’re pregnant.
You must buy good quality eggs for this keto ice cream taste great (along with good quality vanilla). Barn raised eggs have 6 times less nutrition than free-range organic eggs and taste about 6 times more average as well. I always try to buy free-range whenever I can, because every time you buy something from a supermarket, it’s a small vote for what gets stocked.
This ice cream requires no churning, but it does require beating with an electric mixer. Most of us have an electric mixer lying around, but generally not an ice-cream churner! Low carb ice-cream is a real family treat, and trust me, they won’t even know its low carb and sugar-free! It’s seriously carb smart ice cream.
Sugar-free ice-cream is so easy to make. You just have to know which sweetener to use otherwise it could taste bitter, too cool or slightly minty. You don’t want that! I use a sugar substitute called Natvia, and you can find a link in the ingredients list below.
