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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
