Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream (full fat)   
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries – or your favorite combination)
• 1/4 - 1/3 cup keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol, xylitol, or stevia blend, adjust to your sweetness preference)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt (optional, enhances sweetness)   

Instructions:

Blend the Berries: 

• In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen berries and 1-2 tablespoons of water (if needed to get it moving). Blend until smooth. You can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired, for an even smoother texture. Set aside.

Whip the Cream Cheese: 

• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth and creamy.

Add Sweetener and Vanilla: 

• Gradually add the keto-friendly sweetener and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, continuing to beat until well combined and smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Add a pinch of salt if using.

Whip the Heavy Cream: 

• In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy cream using the electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

Combine Everything: 

• Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.   

Swirl in the Berry Puree: 

• Gently swirl the prepared berry puree into the cream mixture. You can create a marbled effect by not fully mixing it in, or fully incorporate it for a more evenly berry-flavored ice cream.

Freeze: 

• Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container (a loaf pan works well). Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.

Serve: 

• Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Enjoy your delicious homemade keto berry ice cream!

Tips for the Best No-Churn Keto Berry Ice Cream:

• Use Full-Fat Cream: For the creamiest texture, use full-fat heavy cream.
• Soften the Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth base.
• Adjust Sweetness: Start with the lower amount of sweetener and add more to your taste preference. Remember that the cold can dull sweetness, so it might taste slightly less sweet when frozen.
• Don't Overmix: Be gentle when folding in the whipped cream and berry puree to maintain a light and airy texture.
• Prevent Ice Crystals: Pressing plastic wrap onto the surface of the ice cream before freezing helps minimize ice crystal formation.   
• Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add other keto-friendly extracts like almond or lemon, or incorporate chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips.
• Different Berries: Try using a single type of berry or a different mix for varied flavors.
