Ingredients Notes
- Heavy Cream – Heavy cream is a common ice cream ingredient and it also happens to be perfect for the keto diet! This creamy dairy has the right flavor and texture to make perfect ice cream and it’s keto-friendly. What makes heavy cream just right for keto ice cream is its high-fat content. Heavy cream is about 36% butterfat which makes it perfect for churning into ice cream and great for keto eaters. Not only is this ingredient just right for keto diets, but it’s also affordable and easy to find. Look for this creamy dairy drink in the dairy aisle near the coffee creamers.
- Frozen Strawberries – Eating right on the keto diet is about making conscious and balanced choices. It doesn’t mean you can never indulge and with delicious strawberries, you can have luscious flavor in your ice cream without too many extra carbs. Some people think that you cannot enjoy fruit while eating keto, but that’s not true.
- Monk Fruit Sweetener – Monk fruit is a great low-carb sweetener for anyone eating keto. Monk fruit is a sweet vine-growing ground that is native to southern China. Similar to sugar beets, the flesh of monk fruit is so sweet and delicious that it can be refined into an excellent sugar substitute. Monk fruit sweeteners are perfect for ice cream making because they are often powdered or granulated like sugar. This means that the monk fruit will not throw off the liquid ratio in this recipe.
Equipment
- High-Speed Blender or Food Processor – The beauty of this recipe is that it’s accessible to practically everyone. No matter how well-stocked your kitchen is or how experienced with dessert you are, with this one handy tool you can make the perfect Keto Ice Cream! A blender or large food processor is the perfect tool for this recipe. The blender or food processor uses its blades to churn the dairy into a smooth and creamy delight and almost everyone already has one of these kitchen tools!
- Ice Cube Tray – An ice cube tray is a handy tool to help your ice cream reach its desired consistency quicker after churning. In this recipe, you will mix an ice cream base and then freeze it so that when it churns it comes out beautifully frozen and ready to eat. You can substitute this tool for a flat, freezer-safe container. Just remember the more surface area you spread the base over the quicker it will freeze and be ready to churn, so pick a large flat container to speed up the freezing time.
- Freezer Safe Container – This tasty Keto Ice Cream is good to the last bite, so don’t let any go to waste! Grab a freezer-safe food storage container or a medium freezer bag to store any leftovers of this delicious dairy treat.
Pro Tips

- You can freeze the ice cream after churning if you like a more firm ice cream consistency.
