WHAT FLAVORS CAN I MAKE?
You can make any frozen fruit-based flavors! Think blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry. The possibilities are endless.For higher carb options, you could use frozen mango, cherry, banana, pineapple and so on.As long as you have some frozen fruit, you’ll be able to make this easy keto ice cream.
DO I NEED TO USE A FOOD PROCESSOR?
Yes. You need to be able to crush the frozen fruit and blend it with the cream so doing this by hand is impossible. I don’t recommend using a blender because there won’t be enough liquid to blend and the frozen fruit will get stuck in the blades.
WHAT ABOUT THE CONE?
If you want to keep this recipe fully keto, we recommend serving it in a bowl, but if you’re craving a cone, our friends over at Enlightened Sugar Free Cones make a delicious option with only 3 net carbs. And if you’re feeling extra-adventurous, check out this recipe to make your very own DIY keto-friendly waffle cones: https://keenforketo.com/keto-waffle-cones/
