Are sweeteners allowed on the Keto carnivore diet?

While strict zero carb carnivores do not add any sweeteners to their diets, Keto carnivores however may include some plant-based fats, flavorings, and sugar-free alternatives. Some Carnivore dieters argue that honey is permissible as it comes from the animal kingdom, however the sugar content in honey will spike blood sugar levels if following a strict Keto diet. Powdered erythritol is used in this recipe as it dissolves faster, however, if you only have granulated sweetener, ensure it has completely dissolved while heating the cream mixture before pouring into the ice trays.

Are there alternative cooking methods to make this recipe?

If you have an ice cream maker, make sure to stir the ice cream mixture well before pouring it into your machine. Churn the ice cream as per your machine's instructions and until thick and creamy. Serve immediately and transfer any remaining ice cream to an airtight container and store in the freezer.

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, simply pour the mixture into silicone mold ice trays and freeze overnight.

You can also make this the old-fashioned way by pouring the mixture into a plastic tub or loaf pan and placing it in the freezer. Make sure to stir the mixture every 30 minutes to avoid ice crystals. Scrape the sides and repeat until desired consistency.

How to store this ice cream recipe?

Once the ice cream cubes have fully frozen, you can keep them in the trays until needed but they may begin to frost on the tops if left exposed for long. For best results, remove each cream cube and transfer it to a freezer-safe container for easy access.
