Cinnamon Roll Keto Ice Cream

The Sweet Story Behind This Keto-Friendly Creation

As a lover of all things sweet and a follower of the keto diet, I often found myself in a dessert dilemma. That is until I decided to take matters into my own hands. This Cinnamon Roll Keto Ice Cream is the fruit of that labor, a dessert that brings the essence of a freshly baked cinnamon roll into a scoopable, keto-friendly form. It’s a recipe born out of the desire to enjoy the sweeter things in life while keeping carbs in check.

The key to this ice cream’s success lies in its carefully selected ingredients. Heavy whipping cream and unsweetened almond milk provide the creamy base without the added sugars found in traditional ice creams. Erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol, offers the sweetness without the spike in blood sugar levels, making it an ideal choice for keto dieters. And let’s not forget the star of the show, cinnamon, which not only adds that classic warm flavor but also comes with its own health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and blood sugar regulation.


Keto Ice Cream Ingredients

Mastering the Method for Perfect Keto Ice Cream

The journey to the perfect scoop of Cinnamon Roll Keto Ice Cream begins with the careful melting of butter and the infusion of cinnamon. This step is crucial as it lays the foundation for the flavor profile. Be sure to cook the cinnamon just until it’s fragrant to avoid any bitterness that can come from overcooking spices.

When whipping the heavy cream, aim for soft peaks – this is the sweet spot where the cream is still light and airy, but stable enough to hold the other ingredients. As you fold in the cooled cinnamon mixture and vanilla extract, do so gently to maintain the airiness of the whipped cream. This will ensure your ice cream has that desirable creamy texture.

Lastly, the addition of xanthan gum might seem minor, but it’s a powerful ally in preventing ice crystals. This means a smoother, creamier ice cream that rivals any high-carb counterpart. When churning, be patient and watch for that soft-serve consistency, as this will give you the best final texture once frozen.

Delicious Variations to Spice Up Your Keto Ice Cream

Pumpkin Spice Keto Ice Cream

For a fall-inspired twist, add a tablespoon of pumpkin puree and a pinch of pumpkin spice to the cinnamon mixture. This variation brings all the cozy flavors of autumn into a delightful keto-friendly ice cream.

Chocolate Swirl Keto Ice Cream

Chocolate lovers, rejoice! Melt a few squares of sugar-free dark chocolate and drizzle it into the ice cream during the last few minutes of churning. This creates beautiful chocolate swirls and adds a rich depth of flavor.

Maple Pecan Keto Ice Cream

Stir in a handful of toasted, chopped pecans and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup for a nutty, sweet twist that’s utterly irresistible. The pecans add a satisfying crunch and a boost of healthy fats.

Keto-Friendly Substitutions for Every Preference

While this recipe is designed with keto dieters in mind, there’s always room for customization based on personal preferences or dietary restrictions.

For a dairy-free version, replace the heavy whipping cream with full-fat coconut cream. This not only keeps the recipe keto but also adds a tropical hint that pairs beautifully with cinnamon.

If almond milk isn’t your thing, feel free to swap it out for another low-carb nut milk like macadamia or hemp milk. Each brings its own unique flavor and nutritional profile to the ice cream.

And for those who don’t consume erythritol, monk fruit sweetener is an excellent alternative. It’s natural, just as sweet, and has a zero glycemic index, making it perfect for maintaining ketosis.

How long can I store this keto ice cream? When stored properly in a freezer-safe container, this ice cream can last up to 2 weeks. Just be sure to let it soften slightly at room temperature before serving.

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Ice cream maker
  • Freezer-safe container

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream 16 fl oz / 473 ml
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 8 fl oz / 237 ml
  • ½ cup granulated erythritol 3.5 oz / 100g
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon 0.2 oz / 5.6g
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter 0.5 oz / 14g
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 0.33 fl oz / 10 ml
  • ¼ tsp xanthan gum 0.035 oz / 1g
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the cinnamon and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the almond milk, erythritol, and a pinch of salt. Heat the mixture, stirring constantly until the sweetener has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  • Slowly fold the cooled cinnamon mixture and vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the mixture and fold it in gently to avoid clumping. This will help stabilize the ice cream and prevent ice crystals from forming.
  • Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  • Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
  • Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften for easy scooping.

Notes

If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze, whisking every 30 minutes to incorporate air until frozen to your desired consistency.
