Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This Keto Salted Caramel Ice Cream is everything you love about ice cream—creamy, sweet, and decadent—but without the carbs or sugar.

The salted caramel flavor is luxurious and rich, while the creaminess comes from healthy fats, making this dessert a keto-friendly delight.

It’s perfect for anyone following a low-carb diet but still wanting a satisfying treat that tastes just as good as traditional ice cream.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3/4 cup erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thicker texture)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Make the Caramel: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sweetener and stir until it dissolves completely. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the caramel thickens.
2. Add Milk and Cream: Slowly add the almond milk and heavy cream to the caramel mixture, stirring constantly to combine. Let it cook for 5 minutes over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Add Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
4. Thicken (Optional): If you want a thicker texture, add xanthan gum. Sprinkle it over the mixture while whisking to avoid clumping. Stir well until the mixture thickens slightly.
5. Freeze: Pour the cooled mixture into an airtight container and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until firm.
6. Serve: Scoop out your creamy, keto-friendly salted caramel ice cream and enjoy the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness!

Expert Tips for the Recipe:

• Sweetener Choice: You can use any keto-friendly sweetener, but erythritol works best for this recipe. If you’re using liquid stevia, be sure to adjust the quantity, as it’s much sweeter than erythritol.
• Caramel Consistency: Keep a close eye on the caramel while cooking to avoid burning. Stir continuously once the butter and sweetener start to melt.
• Texture Tip: If you want even creamier ice cream, blend the mixture before freezing to incorporate more air, making it smoother.
• Topping Idea: Drizzle more sugar-free caramel sauce and sprinkle extra sea salt on top before serving for an added flavor boost!
