This Keto Strawberry Ice Cream checks the box for being super low carb with only 3.5g net carbs per scoop. And...Ice Cream! The ultimate comfort food. The nightly treat. The miraculous, multi-purpose dessert.
No need for artificial flavors to enhance our sugar-free ice cream – the berries included in this recipe will do that. As a bonus, strawberries have a wealth of benefits including being high in vitamin C and antioxidants!
A few tips for this recipe:
*using fresh, in season strawberries will produce the best flavor but in a pinch frozen, unsweetened berries will work fine
*adding even 1 tsp of low carb alcohol like gin or vodka will improve the consistency of the ice cream. this is because alcohol has a very low freezing point and adding even a small amount will lower the freezing point for your ice cream
* make sure you get Heavy Whipping Cream at the store. The high fat content will ensure success in this recipe

- In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt/sour cream and strawberry mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Combine the heavy whipping cream and Lakanto Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener into a stand mixer or hand mixer and whip until it reaches firm peaks. Careful not to over beat.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture just until barely combined.
