Perfect Homemade Ice Cream

Everybody loves ice cream. It has to be one of the most universally loved foods, and it’s not hard to see why. Unfortunately, almost all ice cream is loaded with unbelievable amounts of sugar. For those on a keto diet, options are usually inedible. But not this keto ice cream. This recipe uses allulose sweetener, which mixes well with cream and coconut milk and doesn’t crystallize when frozen. That makes this ice cream as silky and as smooth as the kind you’ll find at the grocery store but without the added sugar. 

And don’t worry, you don’t need any special equipment to make this ice cream. No ice cream maker is needed, just a food processor or a blender. It’s a super simple recipe that you’ll find yourself making all the time. 

Why You’ll Love This Rich Keto Ice Cream

I almost always have some of this ice cream sitting in my freezer. Here’s why it’s one of my favorite recipes, and why I’m sure it will be one of yours, too.

• So easy. This is such an easy recipe to make. It’s literally easier to make this ice cream than to go to the store to buy some! You really just blend the ingredients and then let them sit in the freezer. You don’t need an ice cream maker, and you only need to spend a few minutes in the kitchen.
• Customizable. You can do so many things with this recipe. This is just a basic vanilla ice cream, but you can add different flavors to customize it. Whatever ice cream you’re craving, you can make it with this keto base. 
• Easily storable. This ice cream will last for a long time in your freezer. Unlike most desserts, you don’t need to make a batch that you can eat within a few days. You can make enough keto ice cream to last you a few weeks! 
• Healthier. Because this recipe uses allulose sweetener instead of sugar, it’s so much healthier than the average ice cream. One serving has just 3.6 grams of sugar, which is a fraction of what you’ll find in most store-bought ice creams.

Ingredients needed

Here are the ingredients that you’ll need to make this keto vanilla ice cream. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the page to see the exact amounts for each ingredient.

• Coconut milk: You need to use full-fat coconut milk for this recipe, and you need to leave it in the fridge overnight the day before. Make sure to purchase unsweetened coconut milk.
• Heavy cream: no substitutions.
• Allulose granulated sweetener: It’s very important to use allulose and not a different keto-friendly sweetener. Other sweeteners will crystallize when frozen, but not allulose.
• Vanilla extract: Be sure to use 100% pure vanilla.
• Sea salt: just a pinch, this is my favorite flakey sea salt.

How to Make Keto Ice Cream

In addition to the ingredients listed above you just need a blender or food processor! This is a great base recipe so you can easily adust this recipe to create different flavors. Here’s how to make this easy homemade ice cream.

Chill the Coconut Milk

The day before making this recipe, put the cans of coconut milk in the fridge. This will allow the coconut cream solids to separate from the coconut water. Open the cans of cold coconut milk, and scoop out the solids. You don’t need the coconut water for this recipe, I save mine and add it to smoothies.

Blend

Place the solidified coconut cream, heavy cream, vanilla, allulose sweetener, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend the ice cream mixture until it’s thick and creamy. This should take about 2 minutes. When you blend these ingredients it doesn’t just combine them, it also whips the heavy cream. The ice cream will become thick, and creamy with a light texture if you run a spoon through it, similar to whipped cream. You can see in the photos above how the texture should look.

Freeze

Put the ice cream mixture in a loaf pan or ice cream and place it in the freezer for 3-4 hours until it reaches your desired consistency. If you freeze this for longer it will become very hard. This is normal for sugar free ice cream. The sugar in ice cream prevents it from freezing as hard.

Serve

Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften before scooping and serving. You can serve this ice cream with great low carb sauces like sugar free strawberry sauce, salted caramel, or a drizzle of ganache.

Tips, Tricks, and Variations

Here are a few tricks to keep in mind when making keto ice cream, and some variations that you can try.

• Save the water. After making this recipe you’ll have a lot of coconut water since this ice cream only uses coconut cream. Make sure to save that coconut water to use in smoothies and other recipes.
• Blend in batches. If you make a large batch of ice cream, or just have a small blender or food processor, then you should blend the ice cream in batches. If you overfill your blender or food processor, it won’t be able to blend the ice cream into a perfectly smooth texture. 
• Add chocolate. Vanilla ice cream is fantastic, but so is chocolate ice cream. To make this into keto chocolate ice cream, all you have to do is add half a cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the recipe.
• Top with garnishes. I think that ice cream is always better with garnishes. And that’s definitely true for this homemade keto ice cream. Take it to the next level by topping it with your favorite nuts, sauces, berries, or garnishes. 

Serving Suggestions

I like to double down on my desserts. So when I serve this rich keto ice cream, I usually serve it with some cookies or other desserts that I think go well with ice cream. Here are a few of my favorites.

• Keto Skillet Cookie
• Keto Chocolate Cookies
• Keto Sheet Pan Cookies
• Blueberry Chaffle
• Keto Cinnamon Twists

How to Store Leftovers

This homemade ice cream will last in the freezer for 3 weeks. It will still be safe to eat after 3 weeks, but the texture will get a little bit worse, especially if it has some freezer burn. For best results, transfer the ice cream to a smaller airtight container, and place a piece of parchment paper directly on top of the ice cream.

I can never get tired of dessert. And if you’re checking out this recipe, then you probably can’t, either. Here are a few more easy keto desserts for you to make.

Vanilla Bourbon Iced Latte

This keto cocktail has got a serious kick! This Vanilla Bourbon Iced Latte has two shots of espresso, a vanilla sugar free syrup, heavy cream and your favorite whiskey! This sugar free drink is perfect for starting your vacation, enjoying with brunch or over the weekend! You won’t believe this drink is only 3 net carbs!

This recipe requires only 4 ingredients and is super easy to make to your personal preferences. If you prefer more of a vanilla flavor, add more syrup! Or less bourbon, no problem. You can even make this drink with a decaf espresso, so you wind down in the evening with a delicious keto cocktail. The whiskey and the coffee compliment each other extremely well, so you really can’t go wrong with any combinations in this keto coffee drink!

What is a latte?

A latte is a combination of shots of espresso and steamed milk, or in this case, heavy cream. This creates a creamy drink and the coffee flavor is a little less noticeable than a cappuccino. 

Ingredients in this Iced Latte

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our Vanilla Iced Latte. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Bourbon whiskey – Choose your favorite variety, preferably something with nice vanilla tones if you like a strong taste.
• Espresso – Made ahead of time and chilled. 
• Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup – This can often be found near the coffee aisle. Another brand or a homemade vanilla double simple syrup would work as well.
• Heavy cream – You can also use half-and-half to save some calories and fat, but I have only done the nutrition calculations with heavy cream

How do I make this vanilla latte?

All you need to make this keto cocktail is a glass! Add ice to a tall glass and pour over the espresso, whiskey, syrup and cream. Stir and enjoy!

You could easily add some sugar-free whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for a super special drink.

Can I make this keto drink with decaf espresso?

Of course! If you are not a fan of caffeine or you want to enjoy this cocktail later in the evening, you can easily swap out the regular espresso for decaf.

Preferences for this keto coffee

This cocktail packs quite a punch, so don’t be shy about adjusting the ingredients to fit your preferences! If the bourbon is too strong for you, of course you can adjust the cocktail to include less.

You can also increase or decrease the amount of syrup, espresso or heavy cream you use in this vanilla latte. If you prefer coffee to espresso, feel free to make that substitution as well, but keep in mind that the flavor of the bourbon will be more pronounced. Make this drink completely yours so you can make it in the future to your exact preferences!

Sugar Free Syrups

There are so many fantastic types of sugar free syrups on the market now! This is the type I used in this cocktail, but if you have another one you like, go with that! There are so many flavors of these keto syrups. Caramel, mocha, peanut butter cup, mint chocolate chip– really any flavor you can think of!

Vanilla Cream Soda

This creamy, sweet, delicious Vanilla Cream Soda is the perfect sugar-free drink to brighten up someone’s day! Perfect for birthday parties and showers, this simple drink will give you the classic old-fashioned soda shop flavor without packing on the sugar.

Did you know that cream soda is actually incredibly easy to make at home?! I had no idea… I imagined that me going sugar-free was the end of me enjoying the melted-milkshake flavor of cream soda. Thankfully, sugar-free syrup, soda water, and a little cream makes it possible to enjoy without an ounce of guilt! This is cheaper and more delicious than the store bought, too.

This beverage also has a lot of beautiful possibilities if you’re trying to work with a party theme! A tiny amount of food coloring added to your syrup will help make gorgeous hues without changing the flavor. Or you can offer a rainbow of possibilities by adding a menu of flavors like raspberry, blackberry, apple, and more! As long as you can find a sugar-free syrup in your preferred flavor (or an extract you can add to a homemade sugar-free syrup), you can easily create the drink of your dreams!

If you’d like, you can easily make this an alcoholic beverage as well. A shot of vodka works perfectly, and a shot of whiskey with a bit of caramel syrup instead of vanilla is absolutely amazing! The opportunities are endless here.

Sugar Free Cream Soda Ingredients

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need. For specific measurements, keep scrolling to the printable recipe card.

• Sparkling Water
• Sugar Free Syrup (I chose vanilla for the classic cream soda flavor, but you could choose your favorite!)
• Heavy cream or half and half
• Ice

How to make Vanilla Cream Soda without sugar

Cream soda is incredibly easy! You need some sparkling water (I use my Soda Stream), a sweet sugar-free syrup, and heavy cream or half and half. Fill a tall glass with ice, pour all the ingredients in, and mix until the glass is frosty and the cream is well-mixed.

You can try this with homemade or store bought sugar-free syrups, too! This makes cream soda a convenient, easy, and fun drink for a delicious treat!

Sugar Free Syrup

Sugar-Free syrups are extremely popular! They can be used to add to cocktails, coffees, and now soda to create flavorful drinks. My two favorite brands are Torani and Jordan’s Skinny Syrups. However, these store-bought syrups do have sucralose, and some people have reported that this has kicked them out of ketosis.

Luckily, you can get around this by making your own! You can make your own flavored simple syrup (using liquid monk fruit sweetener or allulose), then include that in your cream soda. It might take a little trial and error, but this is the perfect way to add some fun variety to your keto or sugar free lifestyle!

Tips for the BEST Sugar Free Cream Soda

• Don’t be afraid to test the measurements for yourself! You may prefer more or less syrup, more or less cream.
• Try different flavors! Torani and Jordan’s Skinny Syrups are two popular brands that carry sugar-free syrups. They come with fruity flavors, unique colorful flavors, fun fancy combinations, and delicious coffee-flavored syrups that are great for kids who want to copy adult coffee drinks without the caffeine!
• Make fresh — Do not make ahead of time. The fizz of the sparkling water, the thick heavy cream, and the sweet syrup are all at their best right when you pour and mix them with ice!
• Try with half and half instead of heavy cream. If you need a lighter beverage but still want the creamy texture, swap out the heavy cream with half and half! If you just want an Italian soda, skip the dairy completely.

What to serve with a Keto Vanilla Cream Soda

To me, cream sodas are perfect for kids’ parties and diner foods! Cream soda is so easy to customize for everyone’s preferences… You can mix and match flavors, then enjoy with or without the cream. Here are some of my favorite dishes for this drink:

• Serve kid-friendly favorites like Keto Chicken Nuggets, Pepperoni Pizza Bites, or Pizza Chaffles. Add fun side dishes like Bacon Cheddar Cauliflower Tots or Crispy Zucchini Chips to round out the meal without a ton of carbs.
• Serve with diner favorites like Keto Bacon Cheeseburgers, a Chicken Bacon Ranch Chaffle Sandwich, or even Steak and Eggs. Juicy diner food with a sweet homemade soda feels indulgent even without gluten or sugar! Adding some Crispy Keto Fries can’t hurt, either!
• Enjoy with a sweet snack… Think about these Air Fryer Brownies, Keto Whoopie Pies, or this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie.

Blueberry Chaffles

These Blueberry Chaffles are the perfect keto breakfast or keto dessert! These low carb waffles taste exactly like a blueberry waffle- your family won’t be able to tell the difference. By taking the recipe for a Basic Chaffle but reducing the amount of mozzarella for more cream cheese, you’ve got yourself a nice, soft chaffle. If you prefer a crispier texture, pop into the Air Fryer or toaster.

This recipe is perfect for keto meal prep- these are super easy to freeze and reheat, making your mornings a breeze. These chaffles are also a super kid friendly recipe- pop one into the toaster and add your toppings and you’ve got a happy breakfast table!

While you may traditionally think of these keto waffles as a breakfast food, I also love them for an indulgent keto dessert. For a fun topping, try this Keto Frosting, Sugar Free Strawberry Sauce or your favorite sugar free syrup. The best part? One of these chaffles is only 1.8 net carbs!

Blueberry Chaffle Ingredients

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our Blueberry Chaffle. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Eggs, size large
• Almond flour, Baking powder
• Mozzarella- shredded and Cream cheese- softened
• Sweetener- I used brown sugar monkfruit, but you can use your preferred sugar free sweetener
• Vanilla extract and Cinnamon
• Blueberries

How to make a Blueberry Cream Cheese Chaffle

Preheat your waffle maker. Beat your eggs and add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Spray your waffle maker with nonstick spray and add your mixture. I recommend filling until about 2/3rd of the way full, or about 1/8 of a cup. Cook until the steam stops coming out of the waffle maker- for me, this was about 5-6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining mixture. This does make a softer chaffle, but you can toast them or put them in the Air Fryer if you prefer a crispier texture.

How to eat chaffles

If you’re new to a keto diet or you’re expanding your keto recipes, you may not be familiar with chaffles. Chaffles are “waffles” that are made with cheese- they are very low in carbs while still providing you with a good amount of fat. These Blueberry Chaffles would be delicious with so many things- I even loved them plain! They are delicious with the Keto Frosting I used for these Cinnamon Twists, but you could also top them with Sugar Free Syrup and butter.

Chaffles aren’t just for dessert! I love to make savory chaffles, like this Keto Turkey Club Sandwich. A few other favorites include Keto BBQ Stacks, Keto Chili Cheese Chaffles, or a Keto Bacon Cheeseburger. If you like spice, try this Keto Jalapeno Popper Burger. Basically just replace bread with a chaffle, and you’ve saved yourself a ton of carbs!

For more ideas, check out this post for Everything You Should Know about Chaffles!

How to freeze chaffles

Allow the chaffles to completely cool off, then place them in a freezer bag (with parchment paper between each so they don’t stick together). These are best eaten within a month of being frozen, but they technically are fine for 6 months.

Are blueberries keto?

Blueberries are a great option for fruit on a keto diet! They are high in fiber while remaining low in carbs. They are also full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals! This only applies to fresh blueberries- dried berries tend to be high in sugar.

Keto Friendly Fruits

This recipe is fantastic for customizing to your personal tastes! Fruits like blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and kiwi can all be enjoyed on a keto diet, although in small amounts. Dried coconut is also a great option!

These Keto Mocha Brownies feature a rich coffee brownie base and a creamy vanilla cheesecake swirl! This indulgent dessert comes out to just 4 net carbs per slice, making it the perfect sweet keto treat!

Everyone has a favorite dessert. Some people cannot pass up a milkshake or big slice of decadent chocolate cake, and others find cookies their ultimate weakness.

For me, it has always been brownies. I love a rich chocolate brownie, it always hits the spot for me! A close second is cheesecake. Is there anything better than an ultra creamy cheesecake with rich vanilla and a delicious buttery crust? Oh man! 

These Keto Mocha Brownies are the best of both worlds. Rich chocolate brownies are laced with a sweet vanilla cheesecake swirl. They are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth without blowing your low carb diet! Each decadent slice is just 4 net carbs each!

Ingredients for Keto Mocha Brownies

For these cheesecake-swirled coffee brownies, you’ll need the following basic ingredients: 

• Butter
• Cocoa Powder
• Keto Sweetener (confectioners Monkfruit or confectioners Swerve)
• Eggs
• Salt
• Almond Flour
• Instant Coffee
• Cream Cheese
• Vanilla Extract
• Heavy Cream 

How to Make Keto Mocha Brownies 

This is one of my all-time favorite keto brownie recipes! It might seem like a tricky recipe with the cheesecake swirl, but it is deceptively easy!

Here’s an overview of how to make this low-carb brownie recipe:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, keto sugar substitute, instant coffee, and cocoa powder.
2. Add the eggs, followed by the almond flour and salt. 
3. Turn the brownie batter into a parchment paper-lined 8×8-inch baking dish. 
4. In a blender or food processor, add the cream cheese, keto sugar substitute, heavy cream and vanilla extract and blend.
5. Spoon the cheesecake mixture in lumps onto the brownie batter, and swirl.
6. Bake until brownies are set

A Note About Baking Times

Some readers reported longer baking times. I have made this keto cream cheese brownie recipe many times and always remove from the oven around the 25- to 30-minute mark and my oven thermometer is a true 350 degrees F.

Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your brownies, cheesecake swirl, color of your pan, or if you are using convection or not.

What Keto Sweetener Should I Use? 

As with all keto dessert recipes, I suggest using an erythritol sweetener such as Swerve or Monkfruit.

For this specific mocha brownie recipe, I find that the confectioners sweetener creates the best texture. However, if you can only find a granular sweetener that works as well. 

How to Store Keto Brownies 

Once fully cooled, these keto fudge brownies should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll last up to 1 week. 

Can I Use Another Grain-Free Flour? 

No, this is intended to be a recipe for keto almond flour brownies. I do not recommend using another grain-free flour. 

Tips for Making Keto Almond Flour Brownies 

For these brownies, you will make a nice fudgy brownie batter. It will be quite thick, so when you scrape it into your baking pan make sure you spread it evenly all the way to the corners.

Be mindful to use the correct size pan. You will need an 8×8-inch baking dish for this recipe. If you use a larger pan, they will be quite thin and overcooked with the directions stated. 

Note that the cheesecake filling is also thick, so creating a really pretty swirl effect is difficult, just swirl the mixture the best you can but be careful not to over mix it so you do have those nice big cheesecake layers.

Say hello to your new favorite breakfast!
This is my first year to grow strawberries and they have just started to come in. I am loving being able to walk out to the garden and grab a handful. These Keto Strawberry Cream Cheese Pancakes have been one of my favorite ways to use them! These easy keto pancakes have an almond flour, cream cheese, and egg base. They are light and soft and have a hint of strawberry and vanilla flavor. I serve them with additional strawberries on top and a delicious vanilla cream cheese spread!

What ingredients do you need for Keto Strawberry Cream Cheese Pancakes?

• Almond flour
• Cream Cheese
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Keto Friendly Sweetener: Swerve or Monkfruit
• Strawberries
• Baking Powder
• Salt

For the Vanilla Cream Cheese Spread

If  you would like to make the vanilla cream cheese spread, which I whole heartedly recommend you will also need heavy cream in addition to the ingredients above. 

How do you make Keto Strawberry Cream Cheese Pancakes?

1. In a blender or food processor combine the almond flour, cream cheese, eggs, sweetener, vanilla, strawberries, baking powder and salt. Blend until smooth.
2. Heat a greased skillet or griddle to medium heat, when the skillet is hot and the butter is completely melted add the batter to the skillet, about 1/4 cup at a time.
3. Do not flip until little bubbles form in the center of the pancakes indicating they are ready to be flipped.
4. Repeat until all of the batter has been used, adding butter to the skillet as needed
5. Serve warm with vanilla cream cheese spread and sliced strawberries

How many carbs are in keto cream cheese pancakes?

I have included two different sets of nutritional information below. One is for both the pancakes and the glaze, which comes to 2.3 net carbs each. The second is for the pancakes only without any cream cheese spread. The net carb per pancake is 1.3 net carbs each. This reheat very well. They are perfect for keto meal prep or they make a great sweet treat! 

What are some easy low carb breakfast recipes?

I love all sorts of breakfast foods and have tried my best to recreate some traditional breakfast favorites on a keto diet. These Keto Strawberry Shortcakes Waffles are quick, easy and very versatile.
