Tips and Tricks:
Frozen Fruit: Use frozen pineapple chunks for the best texture. Fresh pineapple won’t work.
Cold Heavy Cream: Refrigerate the heavy cream beforehand. Cold cream ensures a creamy consistency.
Sweetener: Stevia powder works well in this recipe. Avoid granular sweeteners to prevent grittiness.
Food Processor: Blend the frozen fruit and cream in a food processor until smooth.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy the ice cream after churning for a soft-serve texture.
Firmer Texture: Freeze the ice cream for a few hours if you prefer a firmer consistency.
Ingredients:
200 ml Heavy Cream
100 ml Almond Milk (Unsweetened)
Stevia to taste (or any keto-friendly sweetener of your choice)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
20 grams of Pineapple Cubes
2-3 teaspoons Nuts (Chopped)
2-3 teaspoons Strawberry (Cubes/Optional)
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Whisk the heavy cream and almond milk in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. You can use a hand mixer or a whisk.
2. Add the powdered stevia (or your chosen sweetener) and vanilla extract to the whipped cream.
3. Gently whisk until well combined.
4. Puree the unsweetened pineapple chunks in a blender or food processor until smooth.
5. Add the pineapple puree to the sweetened whipped cream mixture.
6. Mix well to incorporate the pineapple flavor.
7. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and freeze for at least 5-6 hours or until firm. (Preferably overnight)
8. Remember to stir the ice cream every 40-50 minutes during the freezing process if you want a creamier texture without an ice cream machine.
9. When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
10. Add strawberry cubes and chopped nuts for extra flavor.
Enjoy! 😊🍍
