I have been working at a vanilla ice cream for quite some time, but not as long as my mother has.  She can produce keto ice creams that fool my children AND my husband… and that my friends, is a challenging task!  I have adapted this from her recipe, having replaced the cream with coconut milk and the 1:1 style keto sweeteners with pure monkfruit powder.  You can reduce the monkfruit and add a bit of chicory root sweetener (Just Like Sugar), allulose, Swerve or another birch based non-GMO erythritol, but I prefer keeping things simple and I don’t mind the taste of monk fruit.  Use your taste testers though, because everyone is different!

This is best when made with an ice cream maker like this one of my mom’s or like my Kitchen Aid Bowl Attachment but you can just remove the dish from the freezer every twenty minutes to give it a stir, or pour it into silicone popsicle molds.  I would recommend adding a bit of vodka to keep it from getting to icy in that case.

I do hope you enjoy it!
