Strawberry keto ice cream (low carb): learn how to make keto strawberry ice cream with just a few simple ingredients! creamy, rich and packed with strawberries! 1 net carb per serving, dairy-free, vegan.
Welcome to the first official keto ice cream on Beaming Baker! Woot woot! I’ve shared some ice cream recipes in the past that were unofficially keto, see: 4 ingredient paleo almond butter ice cream and cashew coconut milk vegan ice cream, but today’s ice cream is intentionally keto and oh-so-scary to test/some kind of wonderful because of it. 😉
Are you ready for the #1 most popular ice cream flavor in Arkansas, Hawaii, South Carolina and Tennessee, according to this fascinating Most Popular Ice Cream Flavors in the US article? I mean, someone’s got to tell me how Beer is the most popular ice cream flavor in Connecticut and when beer-flavored ice cream even began to exist. And, while you’re at it, tell me how “Superman” is a flavor of ice cream, you Michiganites! Lastly, Teaberry (Pennsylvania), Tiger Tail (Virginia), and Tutti Frutti (California) have got to give me more details.
Can I just say, I lived in California for over 20 years and did not once have Tutti Frutti ice cream. And can I just say, here’s the link to the enlarged ice cream flavor by state maps for those of you who have issues trying not to squint. You’re welcome. And feel free to hit “command” and “+” to zoom it in even more. Lol.

Handy Tools for the Best Strawberry Keto Ice Cream Recipe
- Ice Cream Maker or Premium Large Ice Cream Maker: My go-to ice cream maker is let’s honest, so ridiculously happy-inducing light pink that it’s not even funny. But when I gotta make a big-ol’ batch of keto ice cream, I use the large ice cream maker. It has a large capacity and looks sleek as heck.
- My Favorite Food Processor: this is literally my all-time favorite food processor. I use it for everything from making homemade nut butters, no bake recipes and for all of my ice cream recipes. It’s durable, easy to use and so friggin’ reliable.
- Almond Extract: the #1 key ingredient for the best keto strawberry ice cream. Truly. The almond extract adds this incredible flavor element to the ice cream that balances everything out–so the coconut flavor from the coconut milk and coconut cream aren’t overpowering or too present…
- Reusable Ice Cream Tub or Mini Pints: Sometimes, just to jazz up my whole ice cream making activity sesh, I love pouring my ice cream mixture into an official ice cream tub or mini pints (super cute). They’re reusable, cute and totally add to the sense of occasion (and who doesn’t need that?). 🙂

I just made this and the almond extract is totally the game changer! Very tasty. I substituted granulated monk fruit since that is what I had on hand.
That’s so wonderful to hear, Katie! I love the flavor the extract adds, and I’m glad you enjoyed it, too!
Has anyone tried to make this using the creamed coconut that you dissolve in water instead of the premade coconut cream? I can’t get any actual cream in store right now for some reason and was thinking of substituting it (250 mL of hot water and 100g of creamed coconut, letting it cool down before use).
Sounds wonderful! Any suggestions to substitute for the monkfruit drops? I’m not too worried about keeping it low, low carb – so could I sub – honey or maple syrup? Thanks.
Hi Maria! Yes, that should work fine. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
