How to Make Keto Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream

Making this keto peanut butter swirl ice cream is pretty straightforward.

You’ll begin by pouring the heavy cream, sugar substitute, water, salt, and vanilla extract, into a large bowl and whisking it well.

Next, you’ll prepare the peanut butter swirl sauce. To do so, combine the peanut butter, heavy cream, and sugar substitute in a small bowl. Stirring until the sugar substitute is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.

Then fold the crushed peanuts into the sauce.

To crush the peanuts, I prefer a simple method. I take a ziplock bag, place the peanuts inside, and gently pound them with a rolling pin until they are completely crushed.

It’s a quick and effective way to achieve the perfect texture for this recipe.

If using an ice cream maker, pour the ice cream mixture into the ice cream maker and process the ice cream according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

My machine took about 25 minutes or process until the ice cream has set to your preference.

Keep in mind that the measurements for this recipe are for a 2-quart ice cream maker.

Transfer the prepared ice cream into a large bowl and swirl in the peanut butter sauce by adding dollops of the peanut butter mixture to create ribbons.

Once you have added the peanut butter sauce, place the prepared ice cream back into the freezer for 20-30 minutes to allow the ice cream to set but not longer than this. At this point, you can serve the ice cream.

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 Keto Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Cream Instructions

Once the ice cream is made, pour the mixture into a metal pan or pan, depending on what you have. Then swirl in the peanut butter and 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 the ice cream. Then place it back into the freezer. You will repeat this step two more times for a total of three hours.

The no-churn ice cream is now 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.

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. This will also help with preventing ice crystals from forming on the surface of the ice cream.

Best Sugar Substitutes For This Keto Peanut Butter Ice Cream

When selecting a sweetener for this homemade sugar-free peanut butter ice cream recipe, you have a variety of low-carb options to choose from.

One of my top recommendations is Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener.

It not only provides the perfect texture but also has a minimal aftertaste, thanks to its use of natural ingredients. If you’re new to sugar substitutes, this one is a great choice as it closely mimics the taste of sugar.

Another option I enjoy is Swerve, an erythritol blend, although you should keep in mind that it does have a bit more of a cooling aftertaste that some people dislike. 

It’s worth noting that Swerve may have a slight cooling aftertaste that some people may not prefer.

If you prefer to use stevia in your baked goods, you can opt for a stevia and erythritol-based brand like Pyure.

However, keep in mind that you’ll need to reduce the amount by half since it is twice as sweet as other sweeteners.

Lastly, if you’re unable to find a more natural sugar substitute, Splenda can be used with great success. While not everyone may agree, in my opinion, it’s still a better alternative to regular sugar.

Ultimately, the choice of sweetener is a personal one, and it’s important to find the option that suits your taste preferences and dietary needs.
