Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries
• 0.5 cups Powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener of your choice)
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Xanthan gum (optional, for a creamier texture)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water. Remove the green stems and chop them into smaller pieces.

Step 2

Place the chopped strawberries into a blender or food processor along with the powdered erythritol, lemon juice, and sea salt. Blend until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the strawberry mixture into a fine mesh strainer over a bowl to remove seeds (optional, for a smoother texture). Use a spatula to press the mixture through if needed.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and xanthan gum (if using). Ensure the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Combine the strained strawberry puree with the cream mixture. Stir well until fully incorporated.

Step 6

If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-25 minutes). Skip to step 8 if not using an ice cream maker.

Step 7

If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for 1 hour, then stir to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours, until the ice cream reaches a thick and creamy consistency.

Step 8

Once churned or frozen, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and let it set in the freezer for an additional 1-2 hours if needed.

Step 9

Scoop and serve your keto-friendly strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberry slices or a sprinkle of your favorite low-carb toppings. Enjoy immediately or store in the freezer for up to 1 week!
