No Churn Low Carb Ice Cream With Cherries and Chocolate Chips
Description
The recipe blends whipped heavy cream beaten to stiff peaks with sugar substitute and extracts, then gradually incorporates almond milk for smoothness. After chilling, fresh pitted and halved cherries and cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips are folded into the mixture, which is then frozen in a loaf pan until firm. The result is creamy no-churn ice cream with distinct fruit and chocolate nib texture.
The cherries provide natural tart bursts while the cacao nibs add slight crunch and bitterness to contrast the sweetness. This method avoids ice crystals from churned processing and is straightforward for home cooks.
One can customize this recipe by adjusting flavor extracts or mix-ins as desired, and it can be topped with sugar-free sauces or jams. Serving directly from the freezer allows for a cold dessert that balances richness and refreshing fruitiness.
This ice cream contains seven Weight Watchers Freestyle SmartPoints per serving. Store in the freezer until ready to serve, stirring occasionally during initial chilling improves texture.
Ingredients
- 480 ml heavy whipping cream 2 cups, aka double cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar substitute swerve confectioners

- 2 tsp almond extract
- 240 ml almond milk 1 cup, unsweetened
- 120 g Cherry 1 cup, pitted and halved
- 2 tbsp cacao nibs or stevia-sweetened dark chocolate chips
Instructions
