Low Carb White Chocolate Pistachio Ice Cream

A deliciously creamy low carb ice cream, one that is scoopable right out of the freezer unlike most store bought keto ice creams. Packing a delicious pistachio punch with a decadent keto white chocolate pistachio swirl and chopped pistachios.




Allulose is my favorite sweetener to use to keep the keto ice cream soft even weeks after being in the freezer. I use some classic or golden monkfruit/erythritol with Allulose to add some more sweetness and to make the ice cream a tiny bit stiffer. If you use all Allulose the ice cream will be incredibly soft. The combination of both sweeteners gives the perfect ice cream texture, just like a store bought regular ice cream. You can also use xylitol to replace the allulose but it is higher on the glycemic index and has more calories. It is also unsafe for pets and my cats love to lick my bowls if I leave them unattended for 2 seconds. I also add liquid stevia sometimes, if you have different flavored ones you can add them to the base or different extracts.


The cream base I choose to use is heavy cream and some kind of unsweetened alternative milk. But the liquid is totally up to you. My original recipe I used heavy cream and half and half and it is by far the creamiest keto ice cream but it is much higher in carbs than using a unsweetened nut milk. I would keep the heavy cream to keep the creamy consistency but the other half can be any milk/nut milk you want to use. Different nut milks produces different consistencies. I always have macadamia, almond and cashew in my house and out of those 3, unsweetened cashew milk makes the creamiest keto ice cream.


There is 1 egg in this particular keto ice cream recipe but this is also up to you. Two egg yolks or 1 whole egg and an egg yolk would work or as many eggs as you want will work also. Egg yolks make a creamier ice cream but for once I decided to make it simple for you guys and just use whole eggs.


The gelatin adds some creamiest to our keto ice cream, may commercial brands contain some kind of gum. I've used different Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powders in ice cream before that contain guar gum and realized I didn't need to add the gelatin. So other gums will work the amount may just be different.


If you want to use a perfect keto MCT oil or collagen powder for a flavored ice cream recipe, I have a 20% off code if you want to purchase any.

White Chocolate Pistachio Swirl Ice Cream Recipe


1 Cup Heavy Cream (can use silk heavy cream)

2 Cups Unsweetened Milk of choice (I like so delicious coconut milk or cashew the best)

80-120g/anywhere from 1/2 Cup-1 1/4 Cups Allulose, cup measurements depend on the grind of your allulose (or xylitol keep in mind xylitol is sweeter than allulose)

24 g/2 Tbs. Erythritol based sweetener (I like monkfruit/erythritol)

1/4 tsp. Salt

108g/1 Cup Chopped Unsalted Pistachios

2 Eggs

1 Tbs. Cold Water

3/4 tsp. Gelatin (alternative gum will work just may need a different amount)

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract (more to taste)

1/2 tsp. Pistachio Extract

Stevia (optional, to taste) (sweetness will be dulled once frozen)


White Chocolate Swirl

4oz./1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

4oz./about 3/4 Cup Keto White Chocolate Chips

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/4 tsp. Powdered Stevia (optional, to taste)

1/4 tsp. Pistachio Extract


Add-in

1/2 Cup Chopped Pistachios (I prefer Roasted & Salted)


Instructions:

  1. Pour the cream and unsweetened milk of choice into a heavy bottom sauce pot with the allulose, and the other sweetener, along with salt and the 1 Cup chopped Pistachios, and heat until the sweetener is dissolved and small bubbles are forming around the edge

  2. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and bloom the gelatin over the water

  3. Once everything is dissolved and hot, temper the egg with the hot mixture by adding a splash at a time and whisking vigorously as you pour until half the liquid is incorporated

  4. Pour everything back into the pot, scraping the bowl clean and whisk together, if you want to be sure to cook the eggs, place back on the stove to heat to between 145-165, stirring constantly but it is probably at 165 after tempering

  5. Add the gelatin puck and stir until dissolved, add the vanilla and pistachio extract and stevia if using then strain mixture back into the bowl, pushing as much of the liquid out of the pistachio as possible then place the pistachios into a small blender or food processor

  6. Cover the liquid directly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 8 hours or place over an ice bath into the refrigerator and stir every 20 minutes until 40 degrees or below

  7. While the base is chilling make the creamy white chocolate pistachio spread by heating the cream until scalded (small bubbles and steam) and pour over the white chocolate chips, let melt for about five minutes then whisk slowly until all coheisive

  8. Blend up the pistachios with the salt, pistachio extract and stevia if using, when mostly blended, stream in the white chocolate ganache and continue blending, scraping down several times until well blended, can place an amount on a plate and freeze to check for sweetness before place 1/3 of the mixture into a container (Will be making a recipe using the leftover swirl) or piping bag to add to the base once churned

  9. If churning the next day place the pistachio cream into the refrigerator and pull out the next day a few hours ahead of time to come up to room temperature

  10. Once the base is cooled, place an cup bowl in the freezer and churn the chilled base according to the manufacturers instruction on your ice cream maker, chop the 1/2 cup of salted pistachios while it's churning

  11. When the ice cream is beginning to churn over the middle paddle (my kitchen aide takes 20-25 min) add in the chopped pistachios to the mixture and churn for 2 more minutes

  12. Place frozen ice cream into the bowl that was in the freezer layering with swirls of the white chocolate pistachios swirl in between 3 or 4 layers of the ice cream and freeze for 6-8 hours, if you can wait that long, enjoy!
