Need a great fall treat? This Paleo and Keto Pumpkin Ice Cream is so delightful and creamy. I have included both a churn and no churn version for this recipe. Sometimes I don’t have time to churn my ice cream, so I love the fact that this recipe is just as good without using an ice cream maker.
This ice cream makes a great after school snack for the kiddos or even a great after dinner dessert. I love making a big batch and storing it in a freezer proof container in the freezer for a healthy and convenient sweet treat. It will lasts up to 3 months in the freezer!
What are the best natural sweeteners to make this Paleo/Keto Pumpkin Ice Cream?
I usually try to watch my sugar count most days because Iโm insulin resistant and have to take medication to stay on track. However, I still like to enjoy a sweet Paleo or Keto treat every now and then. To remedy my sugar situation, I will incorporate natural sweeteners that wonโt affect my blood sugar and that doesnโt have a high sugar count. Below are my top favorite Paleo and Keto sweeteners. Be sure to click on the links to shop the brands I use and like.
- Stevia- Drops or Powder (Paleo & Keto)
- Monk Fruit (Paleo & Keto)
- Honey (Paleo)
- Maple Syrup (Paleo)
- Coconut Sugar (Paleo)
- Date Sugar or Date Paste (Paleo)
- Erythritol or Erythritol Powder (Paleo & Keto)
Wait, doesnโt tapioca and arrowroot flour have carbs? How is it still considered Keto in this Pumpkin Ice Cream?
1 tsp of tapioca flour, which is what the recipe calls for, only adds 2.2 grams of carbs the the recipe. If that doesnโt fit into your lifestyle, feel free to remove it. The tapioca flour give the ice cream a nice texture and thickness. I follow Keto and the little bit of tapioca flour that I add does not affect me. My suggestion is, listen to your body and do what works for you! Gelatin powder is also a great option to use to thicken sauces and to use in recipes for Keto.
