  • Total Time: 5 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups keto sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tsp real vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp pink salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream (cold)

Add-ins

  • 4 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 1 cup sugar-free cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the condensed milk mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the keto sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and pink salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  2. Whip the heavy cream: Using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, whip the cold heavy cream on medium-high speed for about 4-5 minutes until firm peaks form. The cream should hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.
  3. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the keto sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Mix carefully until completely combined without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Add chocolate and cherry filling: Stir in the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate chunks evenly throughout the ice cream base. Then gently swirl in the sugar-free cherry pie filling, creating streaks of cherry flavor without fully mixing it in.
  5. Freeze the ice cream: Transfer the mixture into a 2-quart container, preferably metal, as it helps the ice cream freeze faster. Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
  6. Chill for required time: Place the container in the freezer and freeze for at least 5 hours or preferably overnight to allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its texture.

Notes

  • Using a metal container helps the ice cream freeze faster and achieve a smoother texture.
  • Ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping for better volume and consistency.
  • Do not overmix when folding the whipped cream and condensed milk mixture to keep the ice cream light and airy.
  • You can substitute sugar-free cherry pie filling with fresh or frozen cherries if preferred, but it may alter texture slightly.
  • For best results, allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
