You can make this strawberry ice cream with fresh or frozen strawberries but instead of cooking the strawberries on the stove top like I did with this delicious low carb compote, I decided to roast the strawberries in the oven.

The result was strawberry ice cream bursting with real strawberry flavors. The depth of flavor in this ice cream is out of this world. And the good thing is it's sugar free, low carb and keto complaint. ????

The ingredients in this low carb /keto strawberry icecream will be a bit different from the regular no churn ice cream I make over at mydiasporakitchenblog, here's is why. In a no churn ice cream, the condensed milk contributes greatly to the creamy texture of the ice cream and because of its high sugar content, it doesn't freeze rock solid.

On the other hand a keto ice cream doesn't accommodate REAL sugar so the texture may be a bit off but with a little manipulation here and there, you will have an equally luscious sugar free ice cream.

How to make Keto Strawberry Ice cream.

Choose the right sweetener. For texture my choice of sweetener is Xylitol because it doesn't freeze rock solid.

Make your strawberry base, either by boiling or roasting I prefer the later for intense and crisp flavor.

Make your ice cream base by mixing the strawberry base with your choice of milk. Be mindful that the choice of milk will impact on overall calories and carb count.

Whip up your whipping cream to stiff peaks, mix with ice cream base. Freeze and enjoy 4 or more hrs later.

Here is what we can do to make our low carb ice cream less icy.

I prefer to use homemade almond milk or coconut milk because I can control the amount of water in it. When I make almond milk for ice cream, I use less water than when I make it for other purposes that way my almond milk used for ice cream is thicker. Alternatively you can use half and half.

Xanthan gum helps with texture but be careful when measuring it DO NOT pack the teaspoon because too much of it in the ice cream will make it gummy

Add some MCT OIL to the mix to bump the fat. It also helps with consistency ( optional)

You can add 2 tablespoon of vodka ( alcohol can act as antifreeze) but I usually don't go that route since my kiddos join in this guilt free indulgence ?
Covering the ice cream with cling film after transferring to a loaf pan or ice cream bowl and before freezing can also help.

Use Xylitol* as your choice of sweetener when making keto ice cream because it helps the ice cream not freeze rock solid. Blend the xylitol crystals to get it to a powdered form.

* Be Careful if you use xylitol as a sweetener if you have pets esp. dogs. Though safe for humans, Xylitol is dangerous to dogs even in small amounts.
