This easy keto ice cream proves that following a low carb diet doesn’t mean giving up your favorite desserts.
When I first started keto, finding good dessert options was challenging. That’s why I worked on perfecting this simple recipe that anyone can make at home.
Using just heavy cream, frozen fruit, and monk fruit powder, you can create a creamy, refreshing treat in minutes. The food processor does all the hard work, turning these basic ingredients into something special.
The end result is a creamy, satisfying ice cream that tastes like it should be way more complicated to make. It’s rich enough to satisfy those dessert cravings but won’t kick you out of ketosis.

💡Tips
1. Don’t Thaw The Fruits
Use the fruit while it’s completely frozen – don’t let it start defrosting. Even partially thawed fruit will make your ice cream too runny. If your fruit has been sitting out, put it back in the freezer until it’s completely solid.
The frozen fruit is what gives this ice cream its immediate thick texture without needing an ice cream maker. If you’re using a mix of different berries, make sure they’re all frozen solid.
2. Watch The Processing Time
When processing the ingredients, don’t overdo it. Start with about 30 seconds, check the texture, then pulse in short bursts until you get the consistency you want.
Processing too long can make the mixture too soft because of the heat. You want everything smooth but still thick.

FAQ
1. Why did my ice cream turn out icy?
The cream wasn’t cold enough, or you used too much fruit compared to cream. The heavy cream needs to be very cold, straight from the fridge. Also, make sure you’re using heavy cream.
Another reason could be over-processing, which can warm up the mixture too much. Blend just until smooth, then serve immediately or freeze right away.
2. Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Frozen fruit is what you need because it helps create the ice cream texture immediately. If you only have fresh fruit, freeze it completely first – spread the berries on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
