Keto Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe

Introduction

This Keto Strawberry Ice Cream is a creamy, low-carb dessert perfect for warm days or any time you crave a fruity treat. Made with fresh strawberries and natural sweeteners, it’s both delicious and easy to prepare at home.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 3 cups Heavy cream (divided into 2 cups and 1 cup)
• 1/3 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or unsweetened coconut milk beverage)
• 1/4 cup Strawberry Jam Preserves
• 8 oz Strawberries (hulled)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Melt the butter in a large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat, avoiding a saucepan for best results.
2. Step 2: Add the powdered sweetener and 2 cups of heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened like condensed milk, coats the back of a spoon, and volume is reduced by half. You’ll notice it pulls away from the pan as you tilt it.
3. Step 3: Pour the condensed cream mixture into a blender and let it cool to room temperature. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Step 4: Add the almond milk, remaining 1 cup of heavy cream, and strawberry jam. Puree until smooth. Add the hulled strawberries and pulse a few times to achieve a mostly smooth texture with some small strawberry pieces; puree fully if you prefer a completely smooth ice cream.
5. Step 5: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight for better texture (this step is optional but recommended).
6. Step 6: Transfer the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, about 20-25 minutes.
7. Step 7: Enjoy immediately for a soft serve treat, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2-4 hours until firm and scoopable.

Tips & Variations

• Use a larger pan for simmering to speed up the thickening process.
• Swap almond milk for coconut milk for a slightly different flavor and creaminess.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered monk fruit blend according to taste.
• For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, add fresh chopped strawberries just before serving.

Storage

Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To soften frozen ice cream for scooping, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving. Stirring midway through freezing can help maintain creaminess if you freeze for longer.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

Instructions

1. Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a large sauté pan or skillet (avoid using a saucepan) over medium heat to prepare the fat base for the ice cream.
2. Create Condensed Cream Mixture: Add the powdered Besti and 2 cups of heavy cream to the melted butter. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a consistency similar to condensed milk, coats the back of a spoon, reduces in volume by half, and pulls away from the pan when tilted.
3. Cool and Flavor: Pour the condensed cream mixture into a blender and let it cool to room temperature. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
4. Add Remaining Ingredients and Puree: Add the almond milk, remaining heavy cream (1 cup), and strawberry jam preserves to the blender. Puree until smooth. Then add the hulled strawberries and pulse a few times to achieve a texture that is mostly smooth but with some small strawberry pieces remaining. For a fully smooth texture, puree completely as preferred.
5. Chill Mixture: Refrigerate the blended mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to improve texture and chill thoroughly before churning. This step can be skipped but chilling produces better results.
6. Churn Ice Cream: Transfer the chilled mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches the consistency of soft serve.
7. Freeze to Firm Up: Enjoy the ice cream immediately for a soft serve texture, or transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2-4 hours to achieve a firmer, scoopable texture.

Notes

• Use a large sauté pan or skillet to speed up the simmering and thickening process.
• Chilling the mixture before churning improves the texture and final creaminess of the ice cream.
• The strawberry pieces can be blended to your preferred texture; pulse for bits or puree fully for smoothness.
• If you do not have almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk beverage can be used as a substitute.
• Serving immediately yields soft serve consistency; freezing longer makes it scoopable and firmer.
