Sure, the keto diet seems like a breeze when you need to fill up on savory fatty foods (hello, bacon and cheese). But what about when it comes time for dessert? On a high-fat, low-carb diet like keto, tons of standard dessert fare (cookies, cakes, even ice cream) is off limits...right?
Well, yes (sadly)—but there are some keto ice cream hacks so you can still enjoy a frozen dessert once in a while.
The rules for what is and isn't allowed in terms of ice cream on the keto diet are similar to the rules of dairy on the keto diet: Avoid sugars at all costs. And tbh, that means you likely won't be able to stop by your local ice cream parlor for a cone while you're in ketosis. Your solution? DIY ice cream.
Heavy cream and low-carb sweeteners like erythritol are going to be your best friends in your ice cream making endeavor—along with lots of keto-friendly fruits or flavors that feature nuts or calorie- and carb-free additions like cinnamon and lemon.
While it sounds hard to master making ice cream on your own, it's definitely doable (Jenna Jameson, the queen of keto herself, even does it). To get you started, here are 12 of the best keto ice cream recipes out there.
1 Keto Low-Carb Butter Pecan Ice Cream
This keto ice cream gets its creaminess from butter, heavy cream, and egg yolks. The base is also nut-free, so you can opt out of nuts if you have an allergy.
