How To Make Keto Ice Cream?

Keto ice cream is a low-carb and sugar-free alternative to traditional ice cream that is suitable for people following a ketogenic diet. It is typically made with heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, and keto-friendly sweeteners such as erythritol. The ingredients are mixed together and churned in an ice cream maker, or if you don’t have one, you can pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer, stirring it every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.

Keto ice cream can be a great option for those following a ketogenic diet or who are looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake. It can be flavored with different extracts such as vanilla, almond or mint, or you can add keto-friendly add-ins like chopped nuts, berries or chocolate chips.

• 1 cup heavy cream
