Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly powdered sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, unsweetened almond milk, and heavy cream. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the powdered erythritol to the mixture, whisking continuously to ensure the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. This helps to balance the flavors and enhance the creaminess.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more powdered erythritol, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds and place them in the freezer.
Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the popsicles are completely solid.
To remove the popsicles from the molds, run the outside of the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them, then gently pull the popsicles out.
Serve immediately and enjoy this keto-friendly frozen treat!
