Print Recipe

Creamy, rich, and low-carb, this Keto Vanilla Ice Cream is perfect for anyone on a keto diet. Made with simple ingredients, it’s an easy homemade dessert that’s sugar-free and full of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and sweetener until pale and slightly thickened.
  • Heat heavy cream and almond milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming (but not boiling).
  • Gradually whisk about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks to temper them.
  • Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (5-7 minutes).
  • Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions (or freeze in a container, stirring every 30 minutes for 3 hours if no ice cream maker is available).
  • Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 hours to set before serving.

Notes

  • For dairy-free options, use full-fat coconut cream and coconut milk.
  • Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.
  • Add mix-ins like keto chocolate chips or nuts for variety.
