    This creamy keto ginger ice cream is made with fresh ginger and sugar-free candied ginger for a delicious dessert. The refreshing taste of ginger blends well with a rich mascarpone ice cream.

    This ice cream is made in an ice cream machine but it can be as a no churn recipe. Just pop it into the fridge and stir every 30 minutes until it's set.

    I prefer a custard based ice cream base for it's smooth texture as I find that it doesn't become too hard and icy. The addition to mascarpone for ice cream gives it a great creamy texture too.

    Carbs in Ginger

    Ginger can be used fresh or dried and is a great low carb plant to add to your food or boil a slice in water. It's low in calories and carbohydrates with a tablespoon of fresh ginger being just 1 gram of carbs.

    Ginger is a great anti-inflammatory ingredient and it very popular in the Caribbean. We swear by fresh ginger tea for everything!

    Ingredients

    This is a simply egg based custard ice cream with a few ingredients.

    ginger ice cream ingredients
    • Cream - we use heavy cream or whipping cream
    • Mascarpone - makes a great ice cream and needs to be softened at room temperature for a smoother ice cream.
    • Allulose - our preferred low carb sweetener as it does not crystallize like monkfruit and erythritol does.
    • Fresh Ginger - Finely great the peeled ginger stem
    • Candied Ginger - We use a sugar free candied ginger recipe which is easy to make and great for baking or nibble on a piece as a snack.

    How to Make Keto Ginger Ice Cream

    Once the egg yolk custard has been made it is churned in an ice cream maker with the fresh ginger. The sugar-free candied ginger is added once the ice cream is ready to be frozen.

    Stir in the sugar free candied ginger

    Recipe Variations

    Add sugar free chocolate chips for a great flavor combination

    The sugar free candied ginger can be replaced by a combination of gingerbread spices for an equally warm flavor.

    Lime makes a great flavor combination with ginger too.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Does this low carb ice cream become hard and icy after a few days

    A custard base ice cream helps with the creaminess but if you are unsure, add a shot of vodka to the churning stage to help prevent water crystals forming.

    What can I make with the left over egg whites?

    After separating the eggs for the yolks don't waste the egg whites. You could make an egg white omelette or use them in our coconut flour flat bread recipe.

    Can I make this without an ice cream maker.

    If you don’t have an ice cream maker, place the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. Remove every 30 minutes to stir to distribute the ice crystals until frozen consistency is obtained. This canan take about 4-5 hours.
