A quick and easy no-churn keto-friendly strawberry ice cream that is creamy, light, and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. Perfect for a low-carb indulgence without the need for an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped (or thawed frozen strawberries)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 4 ounces (115 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) powdered erythritol or preferred keto-friendly powdered sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries (10 minutes): Rinse and hull fresh strawberries. Roughly chop and place them into a blender or food processor. Add the lemon juice and blend until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture. Set aside.
  2. Whip the Heavy Cream (5 minutes): In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese and Sweetener (3 minutes): In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Strawberry Puree and Cream Cheese (2 minutes): Gently fold the strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
  5. Fold in Whipped Cream (2-3 minutes): Carefully fold the whipped cream into the strawberry and cream cheese mixture in batches, using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.
  6. Freeze (at least 4 hours): Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, seal with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
  7. Serve: Remove from freezer about 5-10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters for better whipping results. Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to preserve airiness. Powdered erythritol blends better than granulated. Freeze at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use dairy-free cream cheese alternatives.
