Description
Cool keto strawberry ice cream delivers creamy dessert magic without sugar guilt. Fresh strawberries and rich cream create delightful low-carb indulgence you’ll want to savor immediately.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225g) fresh strawberries, hulled
- ¼ cup (60g) ChocZero Strawberry Jam Preserves
- 3 cups (710ml) heavy/double cream, divided (2 cups + 1 cup)
- ⅓ cup (50g) powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsps (42g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or unsweetened coconut milk beverage)
Instructions
- Prepare Keto Condensed Milk: Combine powdered sweetener and heavy cream in a spacious pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Continuously stir for 30-45 minutes until the liquid thickens and reduces by half, creating a rich, creamy base.
- Blend Base Components: Allow condensed milk to cool, then transfer to a blender. Introduce vanilla extract, almond milk, remaining heavy cream, and strawberry jam. Pulse fresh strawberries briefly to maintain fruit texture, creating a vibrant and smooth mixture.
- Chill and Develop Flavor: Refrigerate the blended mixture for 4-8 hours, allowing ingredients to meld and intensify the overall taste profile.
- Churn Ice Cream: Activate the ice cream maker and pour the chilled mixture. Churn for 20-25 minutes until achieving a soft, creamy consistency characteristic of premium frozen desserts.
- Freeze and Serve: Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Allow to set for 2-4 hours, developing a perfectly scoopable texture that’s ideal for low-carb, keto-friendly indulgence.
Notes
Optimize Condensed Milk Technique: Patience is key when reducing cream and sweetener. A wider pan speeds up the process, preventing burnt edges and ensuring smooth, thick consistency.
Strawberry Selection Matters: Choose ripe, fresh strawberries for maximum flavor intensity. Slightly overripe berries provide natural sweetness without extra sugar.
Freezing Pro Tips: Let ice cream soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving. This ensures perfect scoopability and preserves the creamy texture.
Equipment Impact: Invest in a quality ice cream maker for optimal results. Proper churning introduces air, creating a lighter, more luxurious dessert texture.
