Keto Ice Cream – Experiment 1

One of our favorite treats in the Munson house is ice cream.

When we made the decision to adopt a ketogenic diet lifestyle, we knew we would miss ice cream and would be seeking out ketogenic friendly frozen desserts.

I found this keto ice cream recipe and have made 2 batches so far, with just a couple ingredient changes.

My first batch was Vanilla Pecan.  Only addition to the basic recipe was crushed pecans in the final few minutes in the ice cream maker.  For this batch, we ate it soft serve…right from the ice cream maker.

My second batch was Raspberry.  Using 1 cup of raspberries, I put half the raspberries in the blender with the rest of the ingredients and I added the other half to the ice cream in the final minutes of the ice cream maker.  For this batch, we placed the finished ice cream in a 9×5 loaf pan and put it in the freezer for 45 minutes

Unfortunately, instead of making it scoopable like I expected, it actually kind of fell apart…crumbly like…when we tried to scoop it.  It tasted good, but the texture was weird.

All said and done, I like the soft serve better.  I think it could use more vanilla flavoring as well.

My next mission will be to find a keto friendly ice cream recipe that uses heavy cream.  I think this will make the ice cream even closer to what we consider traditional ice cream.
