Although I have no problem eating ice cream all year round (in fact I used to work in an ice cream parlor -- BAD idea, in case you were wondering), with the weather getting warmer, it most certainly is time for making and eating ice cream.
In celebration of that, I scoured the internet to bring to you all some fabulously yummy-looking low carb ice cream recipes that also happen to be dairy-free.
Since my son has a life-threatening dairy allergy, and it appears that I don't do well with dairy either, traditional ice cream isn't an option--and since we're all on varying degrees of the candida diet, low carb is a must for us as well.
If you've ever tried to find low carb ice cream that is also dairy-free, you know that it can be extremely expensive.
We have occasionally treated ourselves to a pint at a Whole Foods while on a trip, but the $7.99 sticker makes the ice cream somehow taste not as good, you know?
So here are some great options for you and yours to enjoy low carb ice cream without breaking the budget.
Time to break out the ice cream maker and popsicle molds for sure!
Dairy-free Low Carb Ice Cream Recipes
Just a note about these vegan ice cream recipes - some of them use coconut sugar, or a really small amount of honey. If you like, substitute in stevia or another low carb sweetener of your choice. If chocolate chips are used, you can use these sugar-free chocolate chips or my Homemade Chocolate Chips recipe for a low carb option.
Enjoy!
