Made with simple ingredients and ready in just minutes of prep time, this keto-friendly dessert is churned to perfection in an ice cream maker before finishing in the freezer for that classic cold scoop. Whether you're cooling off on a hot summer day or satisfying your sweet cravings, this easy homemade recipe delivers all the luxury of traditional ice cream without the carbs.
In a medium saucepan, combine fresh blueberries and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the blueberries start to burst and release their juices. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the blueberry mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Once cooled, purée it in a blender or food processor until smooth.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, almond milk, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Add the blueberry purée to the cream mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Sprinkle xanthan gum over the ice cream mixture and whisk thoroughly to combine. This will help thicken the ice cream and prevent ice crystals from forming.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until it hardens to your desired consistency.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make scooping easier. Enjoy your delicious, keto-friendly blueberry ice cream!
