🍨 How To Make Keto Butter Pecan Ice Cream
My keto butter pecan ice cream recipe is very easy. Just follow these simple steps:
Step 1
Place the pecans in a Ziploc bag, and crush them up using a rolling pin or similar object.
Step 2
Set a pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
Once the pan is hot, add the crushed pecans and confectioners swerve sweetener. Also, add a pinch of salt.
Using a spatula – mix everything well. The mixture should start caramelizing soon enough.
Continue to cook until the mixture turns a dark amber color. Then, remove from the heat and allow 20 minutes to cool down.
Step 3
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the mason jar. Then, add the seeds from 1/4 of a vanilla bean.
Break up your butter pecan mixture into smaller chunks and add them to the mason jar as well.
Then, add allulose.
Step 4
Tighten the lid on the mason jar containing all of the keto butter pecan ice cream.
Shake until the cream has doubled in size. It shouldn’t take more than a minute or two.
Step 5
Freeze for at least 5.5 hours. And now (finally!) you can enjoy this amazing sugar free butter pecan ice cream.
Carbs
Store-bought ice creams are very high in sugar and carbs. That’s why on the keto diet, you’ll want to make your own keto-friendly ice creams at home.
And this low carb butter pecan ice cream recipe is the perfect way to do just that!
1 scoop of this ice cream contains just 1.8g of net carbs! So you can enjoy it in moderation without having to worry about it kicking you out of ketosis.
Storing The Ice Cream
This keto butter pecan ice cream is so tasty – I’m sure you won’t leave any behind!
However, if you do have leftovers, make sure to store them in a freezer-safe container. You can keep them in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
Since this butter pecan keto ice cream doesn’t contain any additives and fillers, its texture might change a bit after being stored in the freezer.
That’s why I recommend making smaller batches and avoiding storing it for too long.

Your Questions Answered
Can I Use Other Sweeteners?
Since we are not using sugar in this sugar free butter pecan ice cream recipe- I am adding allulose to sweeten it and make it creamy.
Allulose is a special type of sweetener that has zero calories and zero sugars. What’s great about it is that it still has that sweetness as sugar.
You can try adding other sweeteners instead, but from my experience, allulose is the hands-down winner for recipes like this one.
Keep in mind that the pecans were sweetened with Confectioners Swerve. You can use Monk Fruit sweetener instead if you wish.
Should You Eat Ice Cream on The Keto Diet?
As I mentioned, since store-bought ice creams are heavy on sugar, on the keto diet- you have to make your own.
The easy keto butter pecan ice cream recipe I’m sharing today fits perfectly into a keto diet. In fact, it’s low in carbs, high in healthy fats, and contains no sugar.
Yup, you read that right- this sugar free butter pecan ice cream is completely keto friendly!
This doesn’t mean you should eat a pound of it (I know, I know, easier said than done with this stuff), but a small serving as an occasional treat will not kick you out of ketosis.
What If I Don’t Want To Use Heavy Cream?
One of the ingredients that make this keto butter pecan ice cream so delicous is the heavy cream.
You can try using cocnut milk instead, but the resulting ice cream will be much lighter and won’t have the same creamy consistency.
