Maple walnut ice cream is one of my all-time favourites. This homemade maple ice cream recipe is keto, sugar-free, and absolutely amazing. It’s no-churn and stays scoopable even after days in the freezer! And at less than 3g total carbs, you can afford to indulge in this creamy low carb treat.

No churn maple walnut ice cream recipe

Okay, so I am usually a chocolate girl through and through. It’s a rare day that you can tempt me with anything other than chocolate. But when it comes to ice cream, I have a few other flavors I absolutely adore, and maple walnut ice cream is one of them. Maybe it’s the Canadian in me, I don’t know. But maple flavored treats have a special place in my heart. And when you taste this no churn ice cream, it’s going to have a special place in your heart too.

I feel like I’ve spent the summer perfecting my keto ice cream game. Both churned and no-churn recipes. And I feel like I have found the secret to perfectly scoopable sugar-free ice cream. Here’s the deal:

You have to use two different sweeteners – you can’t just use erythritol. You can use some erythritol sweetener, like Swerve, but you have to also use another sweetener that helps keep the ice cream soft. Such as Bocha Sweet. I hear that xylitol can do the same as well. And allulose may have the same affect too, although I haven’t tried it.

I know some people won’t be happy to hear this because Bocha Sweet isn’t cheap. But it’s worth it, believe me. You know I am a huge fan of Swerve, which is an erythritol based sweetener. But erythritol and ice cream are not a great match, as the ice cream freezes rock hard once it’s been in the freezer longer than a few hours. Using some Bocha Sweet makes a huge difference, but you don’t actually want to use it full strength. Using only Bocha Sweet results in keto ice cream that is TOO soft and goopy – it stays like soft serve the whole time. That’s why the mix of the two sweeteners works so well.

I’ve found that using half Swerve and half Bocha Sweet results in ice cream that stays perfectly soft in the freezer.Check out this video as proof. This was after a full 24 hours in the freezer…and it stayed that way for the whole week until we finished it up.

How To Make Maple Walnut Ice Cream

For a no-churn ice cream like this, you want a thickened cream base. I basically used my sugar-free condensed milk recipe, except that I replaced the vanilla extract with maple extract. And since maple walnut ice cream typically has a darker appearance than vanilla, I used Swerve Brown for one half of the sweetener. If you can’t get Swerve Brown, you can also do regular Swerve with 1 tsp of molasses. The other half of the sweetener was Bocha Sweet.

Once the condensed milk was done, I let it cool and refrigerated it for a few hours. Then I whipped up some more cream, folded the two together, and stirred in some chopped walnuts. Don’t toast the walnuts for this ice cream, as they can get kind of bitter. You could replace the walnuts with pecans, or you could skip them altogether.

Then I simply spread the mixture in an ceramic dish and placed it in the freezer. No churn ice cream takes a long time to freeze so I left it there overnight. And the next day, it was soft and scoopable, straight out of the freezer! It’s some of the best low carb ice cream I have ever made.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream divided
  • 1/4 cup Swerve Brown
  • 1/4 cup Bocha Sweet
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp maple extract
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

      As I say the post, you can try xylitol. You can also use more Swerve/erythritol, it will just freeze a lot harder.

          I just tried this with tagatose and it was amazing! I roasted the walnuts briefly and I added two egg yolks to the first step. Since I wasn’t using xanthan gum, I added a 1 tsp of rum and some salt. There were a few ice crystals in the final result , but the flavour was wonderful! Really enjoyed this, thank you 🙂

      Good maple extract is so hard to find. The best one I’ve tried is Cook’s. It smells exactly like maple syrup. It tastes good, too, as long as you don’t put too much in. So, I start with a small amount and gradually add it, tasting as I go, until I’ve got a good balance. If you overdo, it has a weird, kind of bitter, aftertaste.

        I love Cook’s Maple. But recently I bought some Boyajian. It’s super strong. It almost smells like burnt maple syrup if you sniff the opened bottle. But I added a tiny bit of the Boyajian to the milder tasting Cook’s and I got a super maple flavor in the no-sugar maple syrup I was making, especially after it sat in the fridge overnight. Anyway, thought I’d share in case anyone wants to try something a bit different.

    I make a lot of ice cream and really dislike using Swerve. Every darn time the stuff re-crystallizes and leaves my ice cream not only hard as a rock, but gritty like sand. I just ordered some Bocha Sweet and am anxious to give it a go!! Thank you so much for this. Being the ice cream fiend I am I am hoping for lots of possibilities…….Jack Daniels ice cream anyone? 🙂

      Okay so I never have an issue with the Swerve recrystallizing in my ice cream, although I do have issues with the rock hardness! I suspect your Swerve is getting over-cooked…it seems to recrystallize more the more it gets heated. One trick is to add the Swerve after you’ve cooked the custard for your ice cream. In this case, you could add the swerve AFTER the rest of the condensed milk is done.

      You can try but I think that unless you use a lot of it, it doesn’t help as much as I would wish. And using a lot of it concerns me because I think it raises blood sugar a bit. That’s why in previous recipes, I only used about 2 tbsp.

    Bocha Sweet has sometimes been called Pumpkin Xylitol. Do you know if this sweetener is safe for dogs? I know that xylitol, extracted through a similar method from birch trees, is very dangerous and toxic to dogs, but I can’t find any reference to pumpkin pentose (the type of sugar extracted from kabocha pumpkins to make Bocha Sweet) being safe for dogs or should be avoided. Do you have any information about that? I’ve written the company but have not received a response. Thank you for any guidance you can provide…and your recipe looks delicious, by the way!

    Amount of Sugar Substitute?
    Shouldn’t this be more?
    I checked the back of a can of Sweetened Condensed Milk for the grams of sugar and see that there are 10 servings of 22 grams of sugar per can. This is 220 grams of sugar. I then checked for how many grams of sugar in 1 TBSP., which is 12.5 grams. To calculate the amount of sugar substitute which would equal that amount of sugar, I divided 220 by 12.5 which is 17.6 TBSP.
    Therefore to make the sweetened condensed milk part of this recipe (to equal 1 can) I calculate that one would need to add 1/2 cup + 2.4 tsp. Swerve and the same amount of Bocha Sweet (or Xylitol) .
    I have started your recipe as given and the base is cooling, but I am curious if it will be sweet enough.

      Hi Beverly. I don’t know about you but the longer I have been on keto, the less sweet I need things. This is the amount I typically put in any ice cream recipe, and yes, it’s often far less than you would for regular ice cream. But to me and my husband, this was plenty sweet. That said, if you whip up your cream and mix them together and find it’s not sweet enough, you can add more liquid or powdered sweetener. Because this has no eggs, you can taste it as you go. Did you taste the condensed milk base yet? I think you will find it plenty sweet!

        Carolyn, So sorry I doubted you. Never again! This ice cream is AMAZING. I don’t say this lightly either. (I am retired from being a Pastry Chef at a fine dining restaurant.)
        The sweetness is right on. The texture is perfect– even after freezing overnight, unlike other sugar free ice cream recipes that I have tried. I used Sukrin Gold because I was out of the Swerve Brown Sugar and Xylitol because I wanted to be sure the ice cream did not get too hard.
        Thank you for all your tweeking to get a perfect recipe. You did it 🙂

    With the Maple Walnut Ice Cream recipe, am I missing something. In the blog you say to use your condensed milk recipe, but in the recipe, it calls for heavy cream and condensed milk is not mentioned. Do you use the heavy cream and condensed milk interchangeably (altho’ I wonder about the milk whipping up like cream does)? I can’t wait to make this one.

      I think you are misunderstanding. Yes, I use my condensed milk but in this recipe I actually walk you through making it because you sub maple extract in for the vanilla. It gets very confusing in a recipe to write “Use condensed milk but sub maple extract”…so I am actually telling you exactly HOW to make the condensed milk in this recipe.

    Thanks for the prompt reply, Carolyn. I’m afraid I must really be dense because I am still misunderstanding. Nowhere in the printable recipe does it mention condensed milk; it just says 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided. That’s why I asked if you used the milk interchangeably with the cream. I read the whole blog and I understand how to make the condensed milk and that you use it in the recipe, but since it is not listed as an ingredient, I’m not sure who to proceed. Thoroughly confused is an understatement! Help!

      If you just follow the recipe step by step, you will be fine. The first part of it is having you make the “condensed milk” (which for keto is actually made from heavy whipping cream). But instead of vanilla, you are using maple extract. Once that is cool, you take the rest of the heavy whipping cream, whip it all up, and fold the two together).

      Condensed milk is not listed as an ingredient because I am telling you in this recipe how to make it first.

      Seriously, just follow the recipe. From start to finish. Do not go looking for the other condensed milk…it’s already built into the recipe here.

    Hello! I started Keto / Low Carb about 5 weeks ago and, to my husband’s “delight” – haha, I made an immediate investment into every. single. thing. I might ever need because I love to bake and cook so much. So I pretty much have every type of sweetener BUT… do not have Bocha Sweet. When I look at the ingredients it reads 1 tsp = 3 carbs (and not enough fiber to deduct anything). So 12 tsp = 1/4 cup = 36 carbs. If you divide that by 8 servings that is 4.5 carbs / serving just for the Bocha Sweet….?
    Just trying to figure out what I am missing here with the net carb count since I am pretty new to this. It looks AMAZING.

    OMG Carolyn!

    I was skeptical, the first and last time I purchased Swerve White, I couldn’t stand the cooling effect, so I switched to Xylitol for all of my sweets. When I saw the PICTURE of this recipe, it beckoned me. But, to avoid the Swerve, I looked into other brown sugar alternatives, and the Swerve was the only one available with acceptable nutritional info and reviews for me. I shrugged, ordered the Swerve Brown and made this last night, exactly as written, to a “T,” including the Bocha. I just got home from work and tried it.

    WOWWWWW! So rich and creamy and dense – like the silky texture of the best gelato! And the flavor…. zero cooling effect. Zero aftertaste at all! Dreamy, with the perfect kiss of sweetness. This is actually better than any commercially made ice cream I’ve had. Am I really that talented??? Haha, no. It’s you. You are a genius. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

I’ve also made your Death by Chocolate and it’s just as amazing! For that one, I added 1 tbsp of espresso powder which gives the chocolate flavor an extra depth. Thank you for your wonderful recipes!

    Carolyn,
    How were you able to obtain the Bocha Sweet? I placed an order over a month ago, said it was 2 weeks back order, but now I cannot get a response from the company.
    It sounds really good in theory!
    This ice cream recipe sounds delicious! I love maple everything, so I want to try it. I also like the idea of it not being hard as rock, so I am hoping the Bocha Sweet actually materializes!
    Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes!

      Just want to give you a follow up to my previous comment…I did receive the Bocha Sweet. It is so popular that the company cannot keep up with the demand! So, for those of you trying to get this, please have patience as it is worth it! Good stuff!

    Hi Carolyn,

    I think I got impatient when waiting for the condensed milk to thicken and added wayyyy to much xanthan gum. At least that’s what I think caused my issue. My condensed milk turned completely solid in the fridge and the “sugar” seemed to crystallize. It tasted DELICIOUS, but I’m wondering if I can still use it– for this ice cream or anything else— in its current state. Is there something I can do to fix it? add more cream? Should I just make another batch and just eat this one with a spoon? I wouldn’t mind that 😉 but was hoping for your advice.

    Thanks for reading and for this delicious recipe!

    Layla

      Warm it gently in a saucepan and add some cream. If it’s not coming together, pop it in a blender and see if you can get it to smooth out.

    Hi there! Thanks for the great recipe. For this step: “In a large bowl, beat the remaining whipping cream until it holds stiff peaks.” Should I make it exactly as I would make whipped cream? That means I make the bowl and my hand mixer cold, then whip the cream until it tastes like whipped cream. I want to do it right! Thanks in advance.

    You mentioned a price of about $15 for the Bocha Sweet. I assume this is in US $ ?
    I live in Canada and Amazon.da sells it for $25 for the 1lb bag. This is terribly expensive. I read that xylitol had side effects so I’m a bit leery of trying it.

      Yes, it’s pricy. But you only use a little at time if you combine with other sweeteners. It’s not great in every application so I only use it for ice cream and sauces like caramel. A pound bag lasts me over a month and I bake and cook WAY more than anyone else I know!

    I am wondering can I substitute Monk fruit sweetener for Bocha sweet in the ice cream recipe? And will using Monk fruit sweetener produce a hard ice cream?

      If by “monk fruit sweetener” you mean Lakanto, then no. It’s mostly erythritol.

    I tried making this with Allulose and it froze hard as a rock, had to keep putting it in the microwave for 15 second bursts to get it out of the container. Will try again with Botchasweet when it arrives. Still tastes good.

      That’s very interesting. Many people who use allulose don’t have that issue at all. Sorry! I don’t really use it because it upsets my stomach.

    I made this with converted amounts (because I live in the netherlands) but it turned out waaaay too sweet for me and my family. I used half erythritol 1:1 and half xilitol, each sweetner 0,25 cup converted to grams as if it was sugar. I used close to 600ml of cream in total. I guess the conversion didn’t go so well! Although the ice cream was very scoopable after 7 hours in a very cold freezer, it was so sweet we didn’t want more than one scoop. This morning I unfreezed and added another 300ml whipped cream to it: perfect taste! I hope this also turns out well scoopable tonight!

      Not sure what went wrong either, but 1/2 cup of erythritol/xylitol is very low on the sweetened scale (this is about as sweet as 1/2 cup sugar and most ice cream of this quantity would take 1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar!).

      Any chance your erythritol or xylitol were also sweetened with something else?

        The erythritol is also sweetened with stevia to get to the sweetness of sugar per weight, but that could not be it, I think. My guess is that my conversion to grams went wrong. But I want to tell you, after sweetening by taste this icecream is a total winner with my family! Every month or so we come together at my mothers and stepfathers house for dinner. They make their famous juicy marinated chicken and I bring with me low carb dessert. For the first time, after one bite, my daughter (4) looked at me with some surprise, gave me thumbs up and said she really liked it. My stepfather, who is on a strict CICO diet (I know, I know) took seconds! My brother, who prouds himself by always being able to tell if something has sweetners or sugar (he is a sugarburner), asked incredulously if there really was NO sugar in there, took seconds, thirds and even fourths, repeatedly saying “yummy” and eventually calling a bite an “explosion of taste”. Ok, maybe that was a bit overstated but he meant it. He took the leftovers home. The flavours I made were banane/vanilla (half a ripe banana in about 2 cups of icecream) and coffee/chocolate/vanilla (one spoon of each unsweetened powder in about 2 cups of icecream). Together with the caramelly flavour of the condensed cream it is soooo good! So, thank you for this recipe! Also from my family!

    This is delicious!! I made the base then finished in an ice cream maker. The ice cream stayed scoopable in the freezer.
    I sometimes hesitate to try keto recipes because of the cost of the ingredients, but every recipe I’ve made from you has been fantastic!!
    Thank you for your hard work!

    I make this ice cream all the time. It’s my go to. I have used the xylitol instead of bochasweet because of the cost. I did adapt the recipe to a keto peppermint ice cream (with sugar free peppermints and all), but I used only xylitol. That amount of xylitol really upsets my stomach, so that I can only eat a few spoonfuls as a serving. Have you had anyone say that Bochasweet does the same? I’ll fork out the big bucks for it to try it out.

      It’s very hard to say, since I usually use Bocha Sweet only mixed with Swerve in most recipes. On Amazon, I have seen reviews that BS upsets some stomachs, but other people say that they have no issue with it. It’s a very individual thing, I think.

      Sure, just don’t whip the second batch of cream and simply whisk it in as a liquid, then churn. Then stir in the walnuts after churning.

    Hey Carolyn, I discovered your website about a month ago and have been using recipes like crazy. You are an amazing creator! I have made many of your ice creams and they were all perfect. I just made the maple walnut and it’s actually too creamy. Did I mix the cream too much with the hand mixer ? Or? Any ideas what could’ve happened?

      I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “too creamy” but if the texture is different from what you’re used to, I think that’s just the nature of no-churn ice cream.

        It’s so thick, like paste. It’s not a normal texture for homemade ice cream. I may just have done something wrong and will try another time. All your other ice creams I have made turned out beautifully. Thanks so much.

    I just made this – only used 1/4 cup Sukrin gold and that was sweet enough for me. I also added 2 scoops of inulin (unsure where I got the info from for using that in ice cream!)!) However I just put it in my ice cream maker, so unsure what the results will be compared to no churn? Must say the custard was delicious and I added vanilla essence as no maple.

      I am sure it will be fine. Next time, if you want to adapt no churn to your ice cream maker, just leave the cream part unwhipped. The ice cream maker does the whipping for you.

    I used Allulose. I’m not sure if you are aware but anything with xylitol is not good for anyone on keto or for anyone that is diabetic. It acts just like sugar and Spike’s blood sugar like crazy. I Know what they claim but it’s not true. So your favorite go to for baking… You might want to switch to Allulose. It’s available on Amazon. And it has zero after taste and no crystalization. You’ll love it as an alternative. I love all of your recipes!! Keep up the great work!

      Hi Amy… as a diabetic who tests her blood sugar, I have to say: every diabetic is different. It spikes me a little but I know other who say it does not. Also, I did not use xylitol here. I used BochaSweet. Not sure where you got the idea I used xylitol.

      And also… allulose in high concentration makes me very sick – it’s a common side effect for many people. Again, everyone is different, so we need to keep that in mind when “advising” folks what to use.
