This keto ice cream is quick to make with no ice cream machine needed! After trying different variations of ingredients, I finally figured out a combination that produced a smooth and creamy texture, yet didn't freeze rock-hard like most no-churn ice cream can.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 3 servings

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons powdered zero-calorie sweetener (such as Swerve)

  • 1 tablespoon vodka

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum

  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. Combine cream, sweetener, vodka, vanilla extract, xanthan gum, and salt in a wide-mouth pint-sized jar. Blend cream mixture with an immersion blender in an up-and-down motion until cream has thickened and soft peaks have formed, 60 to 75 seconds.

  2. Blend cream mixture with an immersion blender in an up-and-down motion until cream has thickened and soft peaks have formed, 60 to 75 seconds.

  3. Cover jar and place in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours, stirring every 30 to 40 minutes.

Recipe Tips

The vodka is optional. However, it really helps keep the ice cream scoopable, and you don't taste it!

Freezing for 3 to 4 hours produces the best consistency; however, if you'd like to soften it a bit, 10 seconds in the microwave does the trick, or remove from the freezer 15 minutes ahead of time.

You can pulse granular sweetener in a blender or food processor to achieve a powdered consistency.

You can use different flavored extracts for variety.
