Indulge in the rich, creamy delight of keto butter pecan ice cream! This low-carb treat combines the buttery flavor of toasted pecans with a smooth ice cream base, making it the perfect guilt-free dessert for any occasion. Inspired by traditional butter pecan recipes, this version is crafted to fit a ketogenic lifestyle without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop Quest Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder (31g)
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup Swerve Brown Sweetener
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ tablespoon Lakanto Sugar-Free Maple Flavored Syrup (or ¼ teaspoon maple extract)
  • ½ cup pecan halves
  • ¼ teaspoon guar gum

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the protein powder, almond milk, melted butter, Swerve sweetener, salt, maple syrup, and guar gum. Blend until smooth and well mixed.
  2. Freeze the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for at least 24 hours.
  3. Churn the Ice Cream: After freezing, remove the lid and place the pint in the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Attach the paddle and select the Lite Ice Cream mode. Let it churn until creamy.
  4. Check Consistency: Once churning stops, check for texture. If it’s powdery, return it to the machine and press “respin” until smooth.
  5. Add Pecans: Create a well in the center of your ice cream and add the pecans. Return to the Ninja Creami and use the mix-in button to incorporate them evenly.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately or transfer to an airtight container for later.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Serve in chilled bowls or cones. Drizzle with additional sugar-free syrup or top with whipped cream for an extra treat.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before blending for a smoother mixture.
  • Toasting pecans enhances their flavor; consider doing this before adding them to your ice cream.

Storage & Reheating Instructions:

  • Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
  • If it hardens too much, let it sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes before scooping.
