Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh strawberries
- 120 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered erythritol (or any low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 120 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thicker texture)
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly, then hull and chop them into small pieces.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped strawberries, cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and almond milk.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Optional: If you'd like a thicker, creamier texture, sprinkle in the xanthan gum and blend for an additional 10-15 seconds until well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn the mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft, creamy consistency.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze for about 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent it from becoming too icy.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency or freeze for an additional 1 hour if you prefer a firmer texture.
Garnish with a few fresh strawberry slices or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!
