Low Carb Strawberry Ice Cream Food

STRAWBERRY KETO ICE CREAM (LOW CARB)

Steps:

• The day before, freeze the freezer bowl according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
• Day of, blend together all ingredients in a food processor: full-fat coconut milk, coconut cream, strawberries, vanilla, almond extract, keto maple syrup and monkfruit drops. Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed. Blend until smooth and well mixed.
• Follow directions for making ice cream according to ice cream maker's directions.
• Enjoy immediately if you like super, super soft ice cream. If you like firmer ice cream, pour into an ice cream container and freeze for 2-4 hours, until firm.
• Strawberry keto ice cream is best the first day. On Day 2 and forward, set ice cream out at room temperature to thaw for 20-90 minutes, until creamy and scoopable. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

HOMEMADE SUGAR FREE KETO STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Instructions:
• Add the strawberries into a non-sticking pot and set the heat to medium. Let the strawberries simmer until the fruit has broken down completely, usually, that takes approx. 10 minutes. Add the cooked strawberries into a food processor and blend until you are left with a smooth jam-like strawberry paste. (You can also do this step after you added the heavy cream or use a hand blender.) Transfer the pureed strawberries back into the pot.
• Scrape out the vanilla pod and add the seeds to the pot with the strawberries.
• Add the heavy cream to the pot as well and set the heat to medium. Bring it to a boil. Keep stirring while the heavy cream begins to boil. ☝︎ It's easier to do this in a non-sticking pot and on medium-high heat instead of high heat. Both will help to avoid burning the heavy cream.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and the powdered erythritol until you get a foamy, pale yellow-colored mixture. ☝︎ The bowl should be big enough to hold both the egg mixture and the heavy cream mixture.
• Place the big bowl with the egg mixture on top of a pot that's filled with water. This will be our self-made double boiler for this time being.
• Bring the water in the pot to a boil and start to drizzle in the strawberry-infused heavy cream into the egg mixture. All of the heavy cream-strawberry-mix is going to be added into the bowl with the egg mixture.
• Keep stirring constantly for approx. 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens up. ☝︎ The mixture is thick enough once you can dip a metal spoon in the mix and the backside of the spoon remains covered. (It should look like a thin layer covering a spoon - if it rather looks like something reminding you of a spiderweb - keep stirring for a bit longer.)
• Let the mixture cool down and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
• With Ice Cream Maker:
• Follow the specific instructions of your personal ice cream maker.
• Without Ice Cream Maker:
• (Optional): Add 2-3 tsp of vodka or gin. This will lower freezing point and improve consistency of your ice cream.
• Place the bowl in your freezer.
• Stir the mixture every 60 minutes for the first two hours and every 30 minutes afterward.
• I've found that the ice cream has the best consistency after approx. 5 hours in the freezer. So if you start in the morning you should be able to enjoy your perfect keto strawberry ice cream in the afternoon. BUT: You can also store the ice cream for a while in your freezer and achieve a similar consistency by taking out the ice cream approx. 15-25 minutes before you plan on enjoying it. Don't worry if it's rock solid when you take it out of the freezer, that's normal and the consistency will be great once the 15-25 min are over!
• Enjoy!
• Storage:
• Fill your ice cream into a suitable container. I recommend consuming the ice cream within 1-2 weeks. Our ice cream doesn't contain any preservatives, that's why it isn't as durable as store-bought ice cream. (It probably won't last long anyway because it's sooo delicious!) *This post contains affiliate links.
