This Keto Ice Cream Recipe uses genius touches, such as velvety coconut cream and real vanilla beans, to create the most deeply delicious keto ice cream experience ever.
There aren’t many homemade keto ice cream recipes out there that get the vanilla flavor just right, but boy, this recipe DOES.
And vanilla is a flavor of ice cream that, when you make it at home, wholesomeness counts because there’s very little standing between you and that ice cream flavor. For instance, there’s no butter pecan, KitKats, or cookie dough bits to distract from the pure vanilla flavor.
So, the quality of that vanilla flavor counts…
And it counts most especially when you are going keto!
The Secret To The Most Delicious Keto Ice Cream Experience EVER!
When you want the most deeply intoxicating vanilla flavor you have ever allowed yourself to indulge in, go ahead and splurge on some vanilla beans or vanilla bean paste.
Go on.
You do deserve that purchase.
Because just think of the taste of your favorite vanilla ice cream. Now, imagine that vanilla flavor made creamier, velvetier, and more intense!
THAT’S what vanilla beans do.
Because eating keto doesn’t mean giving up on flavor, it means we’re just going to have to hack some deeply inventive ways to GET IT.
Vanilla beans are a great way to treat yourself when going low-carb because they infuse everything with QUANTUM vanilla flavor.
Other secrets to a great keto ice cream? The right cream and the right sweetener …
Coconut cream can be a keto dieter’s best friend. I could drink whole vats of this stuff and be happy as a clam.
No, seriously, coconut cream can help you create many delicious keto treats because it has a rich, creamy texture and deep, umami-rich coconut taste.
And erythritol and xylitol, I have found, are a tasty way to bring sweetness to a sugarless treat. Both are keto-friendly sugars that cook and bake similarly to granulated sugar.
FAQs & Tips
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Like all homemade ice creams, keto ice cream keeps at best 2 weeks. To keep ice crystals out and preserve the flavor, some parchment paper cut to perfectly cover your ice cream surface works magic (then put the lid over top). Replace that every single time you get some of your ice cream, and your keto vanilla ice cream will stay delicious the whole 2 weeks—if you can keep everybody out of it.
The Best Add-Ins For Keto Vanilla Ice Cream?
I was hoping you’d ask because there are so many ways to make this ice cream even more delicious that are still low-carb. First, dark chocolate is keto-friendly and tastes great as chips or shaved atop this ice cream. Next, keto-friendly berries like blackberries and raspberries are very low-glycemic and complement this ice cream so nicely. Or, for your convenience, I suggest Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Salted Caramel Sauce Topping. WOW. It’s, like, keto AND tastes JUST LIKE CARAMEL.
Is This Keto Ice Cream Gluten Free?
None of the ingredients in this recipe should contain gluten, but you can always double-check the label for confirmation. For instance, some vanilla bean paste products may have gluten if they are not pure paste.
