You know what I love about food blogging and food bloggers? There is never any shortage of new recipes. We are always creating, always inventing, and always evolving. We grow, we learn, we experiment, and we constantly come back to the well with new ideas, new techniques, and new recipes.

Two years ago, I did a an epic low carb ice cream recipes round up. Like a fancy new computer, that recipe collection was obsolete almost from the moment I published it because people just kept on creating new keto ice cream recipes. Me included. So I figured it was time for a new recipe collection so that you all could benefit from your friendly food bloggers’ healthy ice cream recipes.

Really, when it comes to ice cream, the sky’s the limit. The flavor possibilities are virtually endless. Of course, there are some things that simply aren’t keto and need to be avoided. We don’t have the luxury of being able to grab a package of cookies and chop them up for our low carb ice cream.

But I think you will see from these amazing recipes that there are still so many wonderful ways to enjoy ice cream on a low carb or keto diet.

A few things to keep in mind when making sugar-free ice cream:

  1. Keto ice cream tends to freeze very hard. This is due to the lack of sugar, which has a moderating affect on the freezing temperature. Without sugar, ice cream is often not scoopable straight out of the freezer. But not to worry, a few minutes on the counter and it will be perfect.
  2. Consider freezing it in individual portions so you don’t need to defrost the whole batch when you are craving ice cream. I’ve even got these cute little individual ice cream containers from Tavolo!
  3. Yes, for most of these recipes you will need an ice cream maker. But there are plenty of inexpensive options. I had this basic Cuisinart ice cream maker for a long time and it worked perfectly.
  4. If you really don’t want to purchase an ice cream maker, look for no-churn recipes. Or invest in some popsicle molds, as every ice cream base would be great as popsicles too.

That’s it, my friends. Enjoy the best new low carb ice cream recipes the internet has to offer.

  16. Favorite flavor is old fashioned vanilla because you can top it with anything!! Or a good chocolate ice cream with peanut butter on top! Yum!!

  73. Oh Carolyn, thanks for your effort of compiling all the LC ice cream recipes on one page, you are the sweetest gem <3

    I love making ice cream and always searching for no churn ice cream recipes as I don't own any ice cream maker. Of all flavors, I always come back to the ever versatile vanilla.

    Thanks again for your lovely site.

  90. I am a vanilla fan. I also really enjoy butter pecan ice cream! I can’t wait to go wn an ice cream maker, I purchased my first home and now have the space for one!

    Reply

  93. These recipes look so wonderful. I’ve always loved homemade ice cream and it’s doesn’t bother my stomach the way store bought does. However, I’ve never made it myself. It would be fun to try one of these. I think I’d start with the salted caramel chocolate chunk. 🙂

  95. Hi Carolyn,

    I love all flavors, hard to pick just one. I have been wanting to make some ice cream just don’t have the ice cream churn. Your site is my favorite does that count…lol

    Reply

  100. I cannot pick just one favorite flavor. I love ice cream. My very favorite for now would have to be chocolate almond. Thanks for the giveaway. I still have yet to try any yummy THM ice cream.

    Reply

  102. Vanilla is usually my first choice. If I were at an ice cream place, I’d pick the weirdest flavor combo there. I need to get to where I make my own ice cream.

  126. My favorite Ice Cream involves chocolate, peanut butter and nuts…………any combo is good to me!!

    Reply

  127. Ack, I don’t have a single favorite flavor! If I am having a sundae, it has to be vanilla. In season, I love fresh black raspberry. And last year I discovered Double Dunker (“Mocha ice cream swirled with chewy cookie dough and crunchy chocolate cookie swirl), and that became my favorite for a while (it is also only out seasonally).

  129. OOOOOOHHHHHH……One of my favorites is mint chocolate chip…YuMmY!! But I can eat almost ANY ice cream 🙂

  139. Boysenberry ripple has always been my favourite, but I can never seem to find anything that lives up to the one made in my home town since I moved. So sad.

    Reply

  143. I love vanilla and chocolate; was a total chocolate sugar nut with terrible cravings until I started keto. Now vanilla is my fav, but I still love the flavor of chocolate. Winning this ice cream maker would mean I can stop borrowing my sister’s — I’m sure it would make her day, too!

    Reply

  146. I love a nice creamy chocolate ice cream. And I really love black raspberry chocolate chip. I have been trying to figure out how that could be made low carb.

    Reply

  153. Hello from the list above I would say Peanut Butter Cheesecake I love anything peanut butter but I also came across Chocolate chunk avocado ice cream which looks interesting.

  170. Wow so many amazing recipes can’t wait to try them out… Thanks for putting together such an awesome list. I absolute love Maple Walnut its my time after time true favorite… I do luv Carmel, chocolate and nuts nuts nuts lol..

    Thank you for the opp and good luck everyone.

  207. Ice cream is one of those quintessential summer treats I could every day, 2x a day!! So choosing a favourite is too darn hard… but I must go with Jamocha Almond Fudge! A new favourite though is Whiskey Hazelnut… just found a place called Earnest Ice Cream in Vancouver who makes it.. Delish!

  213. ANYTHING with caramel!! SO HAPPY To have new recipes! We haven’t been thrilled with what we’ve tried in the past. Thank you so much for all you do and all you bring! Ever grateful!

    Reply

  214. I’m a texture person when it comes to icecream. I tend to get bland flavors like butter pecan or vanilla, and add caramel, pecans, whipcream. I like to feel everything, more than taste it.

  215. My favorite flavor has ALWAYS been chocolate mint….but coffee is closing in for a very tight second these days

  223. As a little girl my favorite ice cream was strawberry with real strawberry pieces mixed in. Now that I’m a grown-up, I love the complexities of plain, old-fashioned vanilla.

    Reply

  226. I like a nice vanilla base with mix-ins, ColdStone style with peanut butter and chopped toasted pecans. Yummy!

    Reply

  227. I LOVE ice cream…especially the ones that are easy to make! Buying low carb ice cream is expensive. You have some wonderful recipies! Thank You!

  245. I love the strawberry buttermilk—even though I don’t really care for eating whole strawberries. It’s a great way to get the delicious flavor without my goofy texture issue.

    Reply

  250. I haven’t tried any of these yet but in regular ice cream, brown butter almond brittle is my favorite…. or dark chocolate ?

    Reply

  252. Started keto diet a few months ago but craved sweet ice cream. So far have made salted caramel, raspberry cheescake and Lemon curd recipes. All fantastic. Problem is they taste great to everyone else in family who are not on any kind of diet. My mother-in-law has scoffed more than half secretly (but she is 88 so has to be forgiven) and she considers herself an ice cream maker extraordinaire.

    Reply

    • Well, sorry to hear they are eating all your ice cream but maybe this will win them over to the low carb diet? 🙂
