Keto Soft Serve Ice Cream Ingredients
- 3 cups of Heavy Cream
- 2.5 ounces (⅓ cup) of Xylitol
- 2 ounces (¼ cup) of Erythritol, granulated
- 2 scoops of MCT Powder, unflavored
- 2 teaspoons of Vanilla Essence
- 1 teaspoon of Gelatin Powder
How to Make Keto Soft Serve Ice Cream
- Place 1 cup of the cream into a small saucepan along with all the other ingredients. Whisk together and heat until the sweeteners have dissolved.
- Place in the fridge and chill for 30-60 minutes until the mixture is lukewarm to body temperature. Avoid completely chilling as this will set the gelatin.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the remaining 2 cups of cream. Whip, using a hand mixer, to firm peaks.
- Gently fold in the cooled cream mixture, a small amount at a time, until fully combined.
- Pour into a freezer-safe loaf pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Cover and place into the freezer.
- Freezing times will depend on the size of the dish and your freezer. We have found that the ice cream reaches a perfect consistency between 8-12 hours of freezing. After this period the ice cream will slowly reach the firmness of regular ice cream, leaving it out for 30 minutes at room temperature will soften it.
- For the ultimate soft serve experience, remove your ice cream from the freezer and scoop into a piping bag with a star nozzle tip. Pipe into glasses and enjoy!

Hi! Do you think this can this be made in an ice cream maker and then served as a soft serve right out of the machine? If so, would we just throw the ingredients together and put them in the machine instead of whipping the cream first?
Thanks so much!
Hey Kayla, we’re not too sure. To be honest, we’ve never used a soft-serve ice cream machine. But if you do try it, let us know how it goes.
