Tips for making Keto Ice Cream:

These tips will help you make your keto ice cream recipe just the way you like it. With only four ingredients, it makes it simple to know just how to perfect your homemade keto ice cream recipe. Some of the tips do change the recipe and may change the ice cream to a non keto friendly ice cream.

Substitute coconut milk for almond milk for a sugar free ice cream and lighter flavors.
For a creamy ice cream whisk in 3 to 4 egg yolks and a teaspoon of vanilla extract while mixing. This will give it a more custard base in the ice cream.
Whole fat cream for a more creamy indulgent consistency.
Adding in a couple teaspoons of flavoring is always fun but be careful not to add in too much or it won’t freeze properly.
If you are using an ice cream maker, freeze the bowl ahead of time before starting. This will help set your keto ice cream.
While it is in the freezer, take it out and stir it together every 30 minutes to an hour for the first 2 to 3 hours. This helps to mix to together better as it is hardening.
When ready to eat simply soften the ice cream by sitting out a few minutes before serving. Use a warm, wet ice cream scooper to scoop it out for an easier way to scoop.

There are always so many ideas and add ins to make for any homemade ice cream. I am simple and just love a good ole ice cream waffle cone with my ice cream. My kids love to add in and mix more together.

Here are a some ideas on what to do with your keto ice cream recipe. Just know that these will alter the keto friendly recipe as well as add more sugar to the ice cream.

Candy: Crush up candy bars or m and m’s.
Fruit: Fresh berries, peaches, cherries or bananas.
Syrups: Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce or Hot Fudge
Jams: Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam
Creamy Toppings: Peanut butter, Nutella or cookie butter from Trader Joes.
Chocolate Flavored Chips: Milk, dark or white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips or mint chips.
Cookies: Oreos, graham crackers or homemade cookies broken up.
Nuts: Pecans, almonds, peanuts or pralines.

How to Store Keto Ice Cream:

Once your homemade coconut keto ice cream is mixed together well, simply add it to a freezer pan or air tight container and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in the freezer for at least 5 hours to overnight. Once the keto ice cream is hard to the touch let it sit out on the counter to thaw for a few minutes prior to serving. Once you are done serving the keto ice cream, cover the pan and place back in the freezer. This will last in the freezer for about 4 to 5 days long.
