Keto Raspberry Frosty Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup erythritol or your favorite keto sweetener (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional, for a little extra zing)
• 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (optional, for a thicker, creamier texture)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Raspberries:
   • If you’re using fresh raspberries, rinse them well and gently pat dry. For frozen berries, allow them to thaw slightly for easier blending.
2. Blend Everything Together:
   • In a blender or food processor, combine the raspberries, heavy cream, almond milk, erythritol, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you’re using xanthan gum, add it now and blend for an additional 10-15 seconds to ensure it’s fully incorporated.
3. Chill the Mixture:
   • Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and improves the texture for churning.
4. Churn the Ice Cream:
   • Transfer the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which typically takes about 20-25 minutes. The mixture should thicken and become creamy.
5. Freeze to Set:
   • Once churned, move the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up before serving.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Scoop out your delicious Keto Raspberry Frosty Ice Cream and enjoy! It’s delightful on its own or with a few extra raspberries on top for a fresh burst of flavor.

Tips:

• If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can still make this treat by freezing the mixture in a shallow dish. Stir every 30 minutes to break up any ice crystals until you achieve the desired consistency.
• Sweetness can vary depending on the keto sweetener you use, so feel free to adjust to your taste.

Enjoy this refreshing, keto-friendly dessert whenever you crave a sweet, creamy treat!
