Keto Coffee Ice Cream

This recipe makes a keto-friendly coffee ice cream using heavy whipping cream, egg yolks, beef gelatin, instant coffee, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and a zero-sugar sweetener. The base is gently heated, then chilled before churning to create a creamy frozen dessert with a coffee and cinnamon flavor profile. It can be served soft or firm based on freezing time.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups heavy whipping cream see note*
  • 3 egg yolk
  • 4 tsp beef gelatin Vital Proteins brand
  • 1/4 cup instant coffee
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt sea salt
  • 1 cup sweetener to taste, see note, zero-sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the bowl of your ice cream maker in the freezer and freeze overnight. Note: if you don't own an ice cream maker, no big deal! You can still make this recipe.
  2. Add all ingredients to a medium-sized saucepan and whisk well. 
  3. Place the saucepan on the stove top and heat to medium. Cook, whisking consistently until mixture is beginning to steam but does not reach a full boil. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool before transferring it to a sealable container. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
  4. Stir the ice cream base well (it will be thick!!) and pour it into your ice cream maker. Turn ice cream maker on and churn until very thick and creamy. Serve immediately for soft serve consistency or for an ice cream consistency, transfer to a sealable container and freeze for at least 2 hours (Note: if you don't own an ice cream maker, simply transfer the base to a freezer-safe container and freeze 4 hours or until completely frozen. If possible, stir a couple of times during the freezing process).
  5. Allow ice cream to thaw 10 minutes before scooping and serving.

Notes

  • Swap heavy cream for half & half or whole milk to reduce fat and slightly increase carbs if desired.
  • Choose your preferred zero-sugar sweetener and adjust quantity based on sweetness preference.
