Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and set aside.
- In a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder onto the almond milk. Let sit for 10 minutes. Skip this step if not using gelatin powder and add the unsweetened almond milk to the blender instead.
- In a blender, add in all the ingredients except for the gum Arabic and guar gum.
- Blend for 15-20 seconds on low speed until mixture is well combined.
- While the blender is running on low speed, add in the gum Arabic and guar gum.
- Continue blending until the mixture is thick, avoiding whipped cream consistency.
- For no churn ice cream, transfer the mixture to a shallow air tight container. Place a piece of parchment paper onto the mixture and cover it with the lid. Freeze the mixture overnight until frozen. Serve.
- For ice cream using an ice cream machine, refrigerate the ice cream mixture for 3-4 hours to chill.
- Pour the the mixture into an ice cream machine and operate as per manufacture’s instructions. For the Kitchenaid stand mixer attachment, set it to “stir” and mix for 20-30 minutes depending on desired consistency.
- Transfer the ice cream mixture into an air tight container and place a piece of parchment paper on top of the mixture. This is to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze the mixture for 4 hours or more for a firmer consistency. Serve.
- To use this keto vanilla ice cream recipe with the Ninja creami, make the no churn version and pour it in the Ninja Creami containers to freeze. Operate as per manufacture’s instructions. Serve.
Notes
To replace unsweetened almond milk with unsweetened vanilla creamer, check the ingredients list for keto compliant ingredients. Vanilla creamer will add more flavour and creaminess. // To make this recipe alcohol free, use alcohol free vanilla extract. // To further reduce air bubbles, tap the container a few times before serving.

Amazingly simple recipe, so easy to make and ice cream is super creamy. I’ve already made it twice in 3 days 😝
This is by far the best keto ice cream that i have tried and i have tried many. No cooking time, no laborious custard making required. Really good fat to carb ratio which makes it an idea keto dessert. And the texture OMG! Scoop-able straight from the freezer. My kids loved it. A guest came over today and he is not keto but he loved it too. Thank you Ann! Can’t wait for you to experiment with different flavors so we can follow suit.
The best keto ice cream. Very easy, it was a hit!
