Arman’s recipe tips

Chill your loaf pan. I usually put mine in the freezer overnight so the ice cream firms up quicker.

Make it vegan. Swap the heavy cream for a plant-based alternative.

Swap the vodka. If you’re making this for kids and don’t want the vodka, swap it for ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum.

Check it often. I don’t usually have this problem when I add the vodka, but it’s good to check the ice cream every 30 minutes or so as it’s freezing and give it a quick mix so it doesn’t get ice crystals.

Flavor variations

As mentioned earlier, this recipe is for a simple vanilla-flavored ice cream, but it’s SO easy to customize with other flavors. Here are a few to get you started:

Chocolate ice cream. Add 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.

Chocolate chip ice cream. Fold in 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips.

Mint ice cream. Add 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and chopped-up keto peppermint bark.

Strawberry ice cream. Fold in 1/4 cup sliced strawberries.

Peanut butter & jelly ice cream. Fold in ¼ cup of peanut butter and ¼ of raspberries.
