Tips and Tricks:
If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe! Simply pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and stir every 30 minutes until the desired consistency is reached.
If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a tablespoon of vodka to the mixture before churning. The alcohol will keep the ice cream from freezing too hard.
Add in some keto-friendly toppings such as crushed pecans, dark chocolate chips, or unsweetened coconut flakes for some added texture and flavor!
