Keto Blackberry Ice Cream (Eggless)
If you’ve been craving keto-friendly ice cream that features fresh berries, this delicious recipe is it.
With only 3.7 net carbs per serving, it’s a way to enjoy seasonally fresh blackberries without the worry of your blood sugar level rising.
Plus, with 18.9 grams of fat, you can confidently declare that it’s keto, especially since these are healthy fats we are using.
This sugar-free blackberry ice cream takes only 5 minutes to prep and uses four basic ingredients.
If that’s not enough, I’ve included instructions to make it both in an ice cream maker and without one.
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.
Keep in mind that the longer you process the ice cream in the maker, the thicker it will be.
If you are going to make this churn-free, it will take a little over three hours before it’s ready.
With that being said, it’s important to remember that homemade ice cream will not exactly have the same consistency as say store brought.
However, as far as flavor goes, keto ice cream tastes flat-out delicious. No worries about going over your macros while on a ketogenic diet.
Understand that this is due to the fact that a homemade recipe will be void of fillers, preservatives, and chemicals. On, the plus side, you know exactly what ingredients are in your ice cream giving you a much healthier option.
This means nowhere in this recipe will you see listed ingredients like guar gum, vegetable glycerin, and citric acid. It uses only easy-to-source ingredients.

How Do I Make Keto Blackberry 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 blackberry 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. Note that the sweetener will not 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 into the blender and blend for about 30 seconds.
Next, you’ll add half of the black blackberries into the blender and process for another 20-30 seconds until all the mixture is completely incorporated.
Then, you’ll fold the remaining blackberries into the ice cream mixture. Note that you want these blackberries to remain whole, so do not over-stir.
If using an ice cream maker, pour the blackberry mixture into the ice cream maker and process it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It took my 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 keto blender ice cream recipe without it.
To do so, once the ice cream mixture 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.
Would you like to save this?
At the one-hour mark, remove the ice cream from the freezer and stir with a spoon. Then 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 will need to allow the ice cream to melt on the kitchen counter until it’s scoopable again.
Best Sugar-Substitutes For Keto Blackberry Ice Cream
When it comes to choosing your sweetener for this homemade ice cream recipe, 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, an erythritol blend, although you should keep in mind that it does have a bit more of a cooling aftertaste, which some people dislike.
Alternatively, you could also use a stevia and erythritol-based brand like Pyure. This is if you prefer to use stevia. If you go this route, you need to 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.
