Keto Ice Cream
Recipe: Equipment
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- container or loaf pan
Recipe: Ingredients
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream or 500 ml
- 1 vanilla beans or 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar stevia (Swerve powdered sugar substitute works well)
Recipe: Instructions
- Whip the heavy whipping cream cold from the fridge until soft peaks form and the mixture thickly coats the back of a spoon.
- Cut open the vanilla beans, scraping out the seeds and adding them to the bowl with the whipping cream.
- Turn the mixer on high speed and continue to whip, adding the powdered sweetener until it's fully incorporated and the mixture almost reaches the hard-peak stage.
- Be careful NOT to over-whip, as this will cause the fat and the water in the cream to separate. If this happens, the ice cream will NOT freeze properly and won't have the creamy, smooth texture you desire.
- Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper (or use a resealable plastic freezer-safe container, if you prefer) and scrape the cream mixture into the pan or container.
- Cover with plastic wrap (or a lid) and freeze for about 6-8 hours, or until the ice cream has become solid enough to scoop.
