While one of the best parts of the keto diet is getting control of your sugar cravings, sometimes it is still nice to have a bite of something sweet. Keto Ice Cream can be made at home for a fraction of the cost and tastes just as delicious as any keto ice cream brand.

I am not a huge fan of ice cream – but my family sure is – and having a sweet treat that keeps us all on track is a total win-win.

We have tried a couple keto friendly ice cream brands from the store, and still were not quite satisfied, so I took on the task to make it myself.

The beauty of making your own keto friendly ice cream is you can make it as sweet as you want!

I made mine a little less sweet – that way I could enjoy my Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies right along with it!

I did use an ice cream maker to make this – and highly recommend this one for making keto ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, etc.

Simple Keto Ice Cream – Maple Pecan

Keto Ice Cream Ingredients

2 c. Heavy whipping cream
½ – 1 tsp Liquid Stevia
¾ c. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
½ tsp. Maple flavoring extract
2 tbsp. Keto-friendly maple syrup (we used this one)
Chopped pecans for garnish

How To Make Keto Ice Cream

Place 2 cups of heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl, and beat on high until it thickens and just begins to form semi-soft peaks.

Add the unsweetened vanilla almond milk and just ½ a teaspoon of liquid Stevia to the mixing bowl.

Mix in the vanilla extract, maple flavoring extract and keto friendly syrup.

Blend the ingredients together at a medium speed until they thicken again.

Taste the mixture to see if more sweetener needs to be added.

If you would like it to be sweeter, you can add another ½ teaspoon of liquid Stevia at this time.

Avoid adding too much liquid Stevia, as it can give your ice cream a bitter taste.

Once the mixture has thickened, pour it into your prepared ice cream maker, and make it according to your machine’s instructions.

For us, it took about 20 minutes.

Scoop the ice cream directly into serving bowls, and garnish it with chopped pecans.

Leftover ice cream can be kept in the freezer in an airtight container.
