Keto Low Carb Butter Pecan Ice Cream

This Creamy Keto Low Carb Butter Pecan Ice Cream is not only an easy recipe, it tastes incredibly similar to traditional sugar filled butter pecan ice cream! You can make this with to without an ice cream machine! 

The Best Sugar Free Keto Ice Cream

When it comes to ice cream one thing is certain, it’s got to be creamy for that perfect mouth feel. With the right combination of flavors, just one spoonful, will linger on your tongue for days, bringing you back again for another taste.

Creating the perfect keto ice cream that can hold up against traditional sugary ice cream is no small feat, but today’s recipe will make you believe in miracles. You can enjoy this luscious ice cream in your low carb life style for little effort in the kitchen and few carbs.

Churn or No Churn Ice Cream

Using an ice cream machine is truly the very best way to create that texture you’ll remember from before your low carb days. If you have a stand mixer, like a KitchenAid, you can get an attachment to make ice cream so you wouldn’t need another separate appliance. I have this one.

If you really want to try this recipe but don’t have an ice cream machine then try whipping the heavy cream in a stand mixer and set aside. Melt the butter and gradually add it to the egg yolks then try blending it in the mixer together then pouring into the loaf pan and freezing. I can’t say this is the best method for a creamy ice cream, but let me know if you do try it.

For the best results I highly recommend using an ice cream machine or attachment.

Nut Free Option

Since the base of the ice cream itself is completely nut free, you can certainly leave out the added pecans to make this nut free. It will still be a BUTTERY CREAMY Maple flavored ice cream and I’m sure you’ll love it.

Try adding other items like sugar free chocolate chips instead of nuts for a bit of texture. Or crumble my low carb vanilla wafers into it or stir in my crumble mixture from my cookies and cream dip! 

Tasty Toppings

You obviously don’t need any toppings but if you’re really in the mood for delicious, top this ice cream with more toasted pecans and a little drizzle of Choczero Maple Pecan syrup or Sukrin Fiber Gold Syrup. 

If you’re more of a chocolate kind of person, my DIY Sugar Free Magic Shell would be awesome on top of this!

 Brenda’s Notes:

•  If you don’t have Swerve just use any sweetener of choice you prefer.
• Again if you don’t have the Choczero sweetener that’s fine too just use what you like, and add more maple extract, but I do highly recommend trying the Choczero sweetener.
• If you don’t have MCT oil you can replace it with vodka. Both of these help to keep the soft texture after freezing.

Enjoy!
