Low-carb ice cream is easy to make at home and tastes just as creamy as the sugary kind. You only need a few ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep.
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl until the sweetener dissolves.
- Chill the mixture for 30 minutes for a smoother texture.
- Churn in an ice cream maker for 15–20 minutes, or freeze in a container and stir every 30 minutes until firm.
- Serve plain or add low-carb mix-ins like dark chocolate chips or nuts.
Tips
- For extra creaminess, add one egg yolk or a tablespoon of vodka to prevent ice crystals.
- Keep portions small—this is rich and satisfying.
Homemade low-carb ice cream gives you all the flavor without the sugar crash.
