How to Make Keto Strawberry Ice Cream

Simple Ingredients Needed (For exact measurements please view the printable recipe card at the very bottom of the post)

Strawberry Swirl

Fresh strawberries

Fresh lemon juice

Monk Fruit Allulose ( I used Confectioners)

Sea salt

Berry liquid stevia

Vanilla extract

Ice Cream Base

Cream cheese, softened

Half & Half

Heavy cream

Monk Fruit Allulose Confectioners

Liquid Allulose helps to keep ice cream soft

Berry liquid stevia

optional: 1 tablespoon vodka or MCT oil to help with texture

Strawberry Topping

Place the first 6 ingredients into a high powered blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.

Homemade Ice Cream

Place the softened cream cheese and half & half into a stand mixer and blend on high until smooth or use a large bowl and hand electric mixer.

Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend on high until incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetener if needed.

Pour the cream cheese mixture into an ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s instructions. Mine is a KitchenAid attachment and it took about 20 minutes before it was soft serve texture.

Drizzle in the set aside strawberry swirl mixture into the ice cream machine on low or stir in by hand. Reserve some for topping.

Place ice cream into a 9 by 5 loaf pan, drizzle pureed strawberry over the top then freeze for 2-3 hours. If you reserved some of the pureed strawberry, keep it refrigerated until ready to serve over the ice cream.

No-Churn Recipe for Keto Strawberry Ice Cream

You can make this delicious ice cream recipe without an ice cream machine!

I would recommend replacing the Half & Half with heavy whipping cream and whip the 2 cups in a stand mixer until stiff peaks then fold that into the remaining ingredients in the mixer.

Pour your no churn ice cream into your loaf pan and freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight.

How to Make Dairy-free Strawberry ice Cream

If you want to make this a dairy free recipe without heavy cream ice cream you certainly can!

Just swap out the heavy whipping cream and Half & Half used for canned coconut milk or coconut cream instead. Replace the cream cheese with vegan cream cheese.

Sugar Free Keto Sweeteners

This recipe was a winner with the entire family, picky kids and picky hubby who dislikes stevia!

My sugar substitute of choice is a combination of Monk Fruit and liquid berry stevia. to enhance the strawberry flavor. Hubby didn’t notice any aftertaste so even those of you who aren’t fans of stevia may like it as well!

I’ve also added liquid Allulose when I updated the orginial recipe because I’ve found it plays an important role in keeping the creamy ice cream texture of the ice cream without forming ice crystals. I’ve tried it in my Butter Pecan Ice Cream with great results.

Please use my Sweetener Guide and Conversion Chart to help you decide on how much to use of another low-carb sweetener.

Impress ALL you friends with this delicious soft-serve ice cream keto dessert, whether they are sugar free and low carb or not, if they have a sweet tooth that will devour this!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Half & Half and what can I replace it with?

Half & Half is half whole milk and half cream, equal parts. You can replace it with unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk.

Do I have to use Berry Liquid Stevia?

No, if you don’t have berry stevia you don’t need to use berry flavored stevia, but it does enhance the best flavor of sweet strawberries. Just add more of your favorite sweetener of choice to taste..

Do I need the liquid Allulose?

Yes for best results, I would not recommend making this without liquid Allulose but if you can’t find it where you live, try using granulated Allulose and if you can’t find that try adding MCT oil which will help keep a nice soft texture of this sugar-free strawberry ice cream.
