Keto Blueberry Ice Cream Recipe

With only 4.2 net carbs per serving, it’s a way to enjoy blueberries without any sugar spikes.

This sugar-free blueberry ice cream takes only 5 minutes to prep and uses four basic ingredients.

If that’s not enough, I’ve included instructions on how to make it both in an ice cream maker and without.

When using an ice cream maker, it normally takes between 25-30 minutes before it has the perfect scoopable consistency—allowing you to enjoy homemade, healthy ice cream in about 30 minutes from start to finish. 

Just keep in mind, that the longer you process the ice cream in the maker, the thicker it will be. So just make it to your preference.

If you are going to make this churn-free, it will take a little over three hours before it’s ready to enjoy. 

With that being said, it’s important to remember that homemade ice cream will not exactly have the same consistency as store-brought. 

Understand that this is because a homemade recipe is void of fillers, preservatives, and chemicals.

On the plus side, you know exactly what ingredients are in your ice cream, which makes it a much healthier recipe.

However, as far as flavor goes, blueberry keto ice cream won’t disappoint. Plus, you won’t have to worry about going over your ketogenic macros.

How To Make Keto Blueberry Ice Cream? 

The measurements for this recipe are for a 2-quart ice cream maker. If you are using a larger ice cream maker, you can double the recipe easily. 

Making this low-carb blueberry ice cream is a super easy recipe. You’ll start by combining the lemon juice with the sugar substitute in a small bowl and giving it a stir. So that the sweetener will dissolve completely.

Then, you’ll pour this mixture into the blender. Once you’ve done this, you’ll add the heavy cream, water, and salt to the blender and blend for about 30 seconds.

Next, add half of the blueberries to the blender and process for another 20-30 seconds until all the mixture is completely incorporated.

Then, you’ll fold the remaining blueberries into the ice cream mixture. 

If using an ice cream maker, pour the prepared ice cream mixture into the ice cream maker and process it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It took my ice cream machine about 20-25 minutes to process.

Store any leftovers in a well-covered, airtight container. You will need to allow the ice cream to melt on the kitchen counter until it’s scoopable again.

No-Churn Ice Cream Instructions

Don’t have an ice cream maker? No problem; you can also make this recipe without it.

To do so, once the ice cream is made, pour it into a metal pan or pans, depending on what you have. Then, place the ice cream into the freezer for about an hour.

At the one-hour mark, remove the ice cream from the freezer and stir with a spoon. Place it back into the freezer. You will repeat this step two more times for a total of three hours.

It’s at this point that the no-churn ice cream will be ready to scoop and enjoy.

If you have any leftovers, you must allow the ice cream to melt on the kitchen counter until it’s scoopable again.

Are Blueberries Keto?

Blueberries are not just full of health-giving nutrients but are also considered keto-friendly since they are low in sugar and have a decent amount of fiber.

This keto ice cream is a purple ice cream thanks to the natural hue of the blueberries, which means it’s loaded with rich anthocyanin.

It’s a recipe that allows you to have the benefits of blueberries in portion-controlled amounts.

Best Sugar-Substitutes For Keto Blueberry Ice Cream

When it comes to choosing your sweetener for this sugar-free ice cream, I have several low-carb options that work well with this keto ice cream recipe.

I really like Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener because the texture is spot on and because there is barely any aftertaste. Plus it uses only natural ingredients.

This is a great one, especially if you are new to sugar substitutes, because it mimics sugar the most, in my opinion.

I’m also partial to Swerve’s erythritol blend, although you should keep in mind that it does have a bit more of a cooling aftertaste that some people dislike. 

Alternatively, you could also use a stevia and erythritol-based brand like Pyure.  This is if you prefer to use stevia in your baked goods. If you go this route, you must reduce the amount by half since it is twice as sweet. 

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.

I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar. 

How To Store Homemade Ice Cream

Store your homemade keto ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. These reusable ice cream containers are made specifically for ice cream. 

Add a piece of wax paper or parchment paper to the top of the ice cream and store for up to three weeks.
