Lush Macadamia Keto Ice Cream – Low Carb
Before jumping to the recipe please note that the below information contains HOT TIPS for this recipe. We try and answer all your questions to guarantee a perfect keto recipe every time.
Lush Macadamia Keto Ice Cream, it says it all! This is most certainly lush, and if you have never made an ice cream with macadamia milk then you need to get this into your life.
It is soooo good. Macadamia milk is so low in carbs per 250ml and good in healthy fats. Add to that some fresh roasted macadamias and you have an “oh so” super tasty mix. I have made this ice cream so many times. In fact it was adapted from a recipe I used to make with sugar. I just swapped the sugar for erythritol and reduced the amount. This macadamia ice cream is seriously close to perfection!
The recipe was actually me re-creating a recipe I created around 20 years ago using sugar. On the first attempt of trialling the recipe it was a winner. It is so, so good!
Love Macadamia Ice Cream but want some flavour variations?
If you would like to use this macadamia ice cream recipe as a base recipe and flavour it with your own flavourings then go ahead, it works perfect for all flavours just omit the macadamias. A little low carb secret for ice cream flavours is to use extracts. These add a lot of flavour for a miniscule amount of carbs added. You could also use some of my delicious Brookies recipe dough for a cookie dough variety! How great does that sound?
I hope you make this macadamia ice cream recipe and enjoy it just as much as I do.
Lastly I do just want to mention the use of xylitol. Xylitol is the recommended sweetener in this recipe as it is the ONLY sweetener that keeps your ice cream soft. Sorry NO erythritol is not the same. Xylitol is toxic to dogs so please be careful using it, cleaning up, storing it and under no circumstances sharing your ice cream with your dogs. The smallest amount can kill even the largest of our four legged friends.

Notes

- Another tip to keep ice cream soft and stop forming ice crystals is to store in a zip lock bag with the air removed. You can do this by placing the bag over your ice cream container, place a straw in the corner of the bag and zip up to the straw. Suck all the air from the bag and quickly remove the straw and seal.

This sounds delicious! Do you make your own macadamia milk in the TMX or do you use store bought?
I just use store bought as I am always lazy with recipes. However you could easily make your own for possibly a creamier more delicious result
Can you make it in an icecream maker?
I’ve just blended it and it’s now freezing. Having tasted the mix, I’m inclined to think I’ll cut back the sweetener next time as I found it far too sweet for my palate. I’ll try 50% sweetener and adjust by taste. It looks incredible and I can’t wait to sample the finished product later today.
Can you substute xantham for guar gum? Would it work the same way?
Do you think substituting coconut cream for the dairy cream would work? (so my dairy intolerant daughter can share)
Yes I think it would Terri
Can this be made in an ice-cream make and use xantham gum instead of guar gum?
Can I replace the thicken cream with heavy whipping cream? Would I have to whip the whipping cream too then? Your recipe sounded awesome. I’m a rookie but really wanted to try 🙂
Yes you can use heavy whipping cream and just follow the recipe as is.
Hi Megan,
This is my favourite keto ice cream recipe and I have made it many times. I’m just curious if there is a way to stop the guar gum from going lumpy? I have tried mixing it with Mac milk prior to adding but it still remains lumpy. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi Telea, firstly what method are you using to make the ice cream. Stove top or Thermomix?
TM 6 – I’m just making it and got to the part where I need to blend it and return to the freezer. The consistency is mostly frozen but still quite soft in parts. Is that right? I also had the issue with guar gum being quite lumpy. I’m pre-empting 5 stars though 🙂
That would be that the guar gum has not evenly blended into your custard. Simply re-mix and mix well and you should be fine.
Hi there where can you buy xylitol from? and can I replace it for something else?
